A saved search (*.FND) - fails to remember the folder :-(

Apd,
This is my drop-down list from "Look in:"

I've only got drives (hardisk & DVD) under "my computer" there.

Something must have changed on your system to prevent the documents
folders from being listed there. Probably a registry tweak.

Bottom line, if I want to create a repeatable search I might be better of
with letting AutoIt fill in everything (and it can even start the search
-) ) ...

Sound like a plan.

In case it's of use, these registry entries are written when a search
is done:

Advanced options:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\SearchSystemDirs
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\SearchHidden
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\IncludeSubFolders
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\CaseSensitive
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Exp lorer\SearchSlowFiles
(SearchSlowFiles corresponds to "Search tape backup")

File mask:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5603\000 (to 024)
Search string:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant\ACMru\5604\000 (to 024)
