Default Message While Searching WE for a filename.

What does this mean ???
While trying to do a filename search I get this multiple times.
I am searching on pen drive.

It depends on whether you want the contents of
..cab and .zip files searched or not.

The index of a multi-volume set is stored in the last
file of the set.

If you have 7ZIP installed as an example, you no longer
need the services of built-in cabview or equivalent.
A third-party tool can fill that gap.

The DLLs involved fulfill two roles. Allow search.
Allow extraction in an Explorer window. Neutering
them would cause both functions to die. If you have
7ZIP, then you can back-fill the extraction function,
leaving neutering as a way to control search behavior.

The following, shows the two files that enable "sniffing"
inside stuff. If you neuter just the zipfldr one, then
I would expect the multi-volume messages to stop.

I've never seen one of those multi-volume messages here,
so you must be doing something special to trigger that.
Like, maybe, some sort of malformed or damaged files ?
Would you actually just be copying the first member
of a set and throwing the others away (lost the index) ?
Maybe you didn't copy all necessary files to the Flash,
when you were plugged into the source ?

*******

From my notes file:

WinXP search fix.

regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll
regsvr32 /u cabview.dll

I run mine like that, for speed reasons. If volumes aren't
indexed, and you do a brute force search, that makes the
search go faster. You would do those commands from a Command
Prompt window as Administrator. Before running the commands,
you'd need to do this so they're in view...

cd /d C:\WINDOWS\system32

Because that's where those DLLs should be located. The
DLLs are unharmed by the command. You can also re-register
the files again if you want the function switched on. On
one occasion, somehow, the OS switched them back on again.
You'll need to keep the details of this, in your notes
file for later re-application.
