Find files and Folders

[alea]

Does anyone know if it is possible to alter the default drive location on the Find files and folders setting.

I have a user that is on the network and is using win 95 and it always defaults to the C: to start wih they would like it changing to on e of the mapped drives as a default.

I know you can choose these options in Word and Excel but how about the main Windows function?

It seems to me the Find feature just defaults to the last drive you had selected.

I just tested it. I switched it to another drive, closed it, and when I reopened it, the other drive (not C was selected.

Isn't it doing that for your user?

I don't use Win98 but this works...

Open a Search window using any method, and select whatever search location you want to be the default. The Local Hard Drives entry is probably the most useful, but you can choose the My Documents folder or any other place you wish.
Leave the rest of the search criteria blank, and click Search Now.
When the search is complete, select Save Search from the File menu. When prompted, save the All Files.fnd file on the Desktop. (Choose a different name and location if you like.)
Double-click on the All Files.fnd file at any time to open a new Search window.

I modified it on my WindowsME as below.

Drag All Files.fnd shortcut icon to quick launch bar.
Now you have one click search of that particular drive..
