Default [OT] Windows Live for Win 7. What happened to the old format?!!!

I can only recommend that you try using the "DOS syntax" in the "Find Files
& Folders" Window's utility.... Thus :

In the search for files box, type ;


*museum*


....or ;


*museum*.*


....hopefully you will have more luck with this.

Also, double-check the your search-options - that you are conducting the
search from the "root" of the appropriate drive [c:] and that "search
sub-folders" box is checkmarked..

It's rather difficult for me to suggest more than that as this group is
really meant for questions and discussion on Windows XP and you are using
Win7.

Adjust the column-headings.

Like Windows Explorer, in Live Mail, clicking on the column headings
should automatically re-order all the posts depending on which column
you chose to click on.

The column you should use to order your posts is the "Sent" column -
that way, you should see any new posts (including your own) popping up
at the very bottom of the list...

I've been using Win 7 for about a year, and sometimes use Live for
help. I don't find it quite as useful as these NG groups for XP;
however, it appears recently that Live has taken a turn for the worse.
It seems to have generated into two parts, answers,questions?

I posted a question there today, and I have not a clue where my post
went to. When I look at what might be lists of posts there are no
discernible order to the posts. Trying to find my name or userid in
the messages seems impossible.

Comments?


I'll look again, but I don't think there are even have column headings.
Actually, I see tabs marked All, Answered and Unanswered. I'm using All
now and it has several column headers: Sort: Helpful, Replies, View,
Latest. I'm there by

Ah, London. I was there around Nov. 28 for a week. Lovely weather! Cold
and snow. Fortunately, my plane was not delayed home.

Maybe you know the answer to my question. I have a file called
MuseumTelescope.docx. It's in a folder with a bunch of similar docs. If I
type into Start-Search Museum, it is not found. Neither are museum and
*museum*. If I go to Library-Documents and conduct a search, I get the
same result, yet is really on my C-drive and in ... Same results if I
used file: ... The above doc is in C:/ForSale. Index problem?
