• Windows XP - Windows Explorer search the files hyperlink text

  Navigation in the site of MS is rather hard to find where I have to post my question.  Please move it to the correct location. (Thank you)

  I have a directory with some 400 documents (Word, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.) I want to search for "a word or a phase in the file" via Windows XP ' windows Explorer.

  Here's the question...

  The text I'm looking for is in a hyperlink (i.e. to search for "docushare' in my files, but there is a link that looks like THIS); the research within a file does not see the content of the link.

  My goal is to identify all documents in a directory that have a link to Docushare (for example).

  Thanks in advance.

• In the Windows Explorer search produces no results in Windows 7.0.

  When I open Windows Explorer in any folder and type the name of a file to search in the right corner it lists nothing, no matter what I put in the words.  In Vista, it would begin listing the files immediately I typed.  Strangely, lookups work if I type in the same search in the start menu.  I tried to turn on or turn off the search.  I also ran the program in troublehooting control menu and he said that there is nothing wrong with my computer.

  It's very frustrating.

  When searching for a folder, it searches only in this folder (and any folders below it).  The start menu search everywhere, all the time.

  Try 'Computer' or your C: drive and then research, and it should come with the same results as the start menu.

  PS It's Windows 7, but the version number is actually 6.1, not 7.0.  The 7 is just a name (and poorly designed, when it does not match the lol, version number).

• Windows Explorer "option remove from this list" DOES NOT always WORK

  In Windows 7:
  When you right-click the Windows Explorer button at the bottom of the screen on the task bar, it has an option to "remove from this list. all Frequent ' point/place' that there are listed...

  I used this option during most of the items listed to clean a little bit because I don't want to see it all.

  BUT:
  I have now six items/places to the left.  I want three of them to stay.  I would like to 'Remove' the other three, but the option "Remove from this list" DOES NOT WORK!

  I tried:
  -Manually remove items/locations...   Always in the list.  So I put them back
  -Search for places objects in a windows search to see if they appeared in a file list somewhere that I could remove a manually.  No foumd.

  HOW to REMOVE THESE UNWANTED ITEMS/LOCATIONS in the list of Windows Explorer?

  Thank you.   -TomE

  NOTE: A second problem is that I couldn't use a sign less "-" to exclude elements of my research, when I used Windows Search.  I tried to use '-internet "to exclude references to Internet Explorer.  It did not work.  There for me in the past.

• Windows Explorer search feature does not work on a PDF file

  I've upgraded to WINDOWS 7 this month. As in the past I am still investigating several cases filled with PDF files for specific strings in the PDF file. The new feature of windows search is not finding files. I have all the indexed folders and have put the 'Options records' both 'in indexed locations... ". "and"always search file names... ". ». Niether option seems to work. I find that the search for a set of folers containing docx files work so I suspect something in the way the new alogrithm of WIN 7 search interacts with the type of PDF file: maybe something to with the recording of the PDF file to the operating system time?

  In this very basic problem any help is appreciated,

  Fitz

  I am also unable to search the contents of .pdf with Windows 7 files.  Check indexing according to the instructions of Ronnie above Options I have noted that, while the .pdf file has already been fixed for the indexing of content Description filter column shows "Registerd IFilter not found."  I did a bit of research and it seems that Adobe is including the iFilter in its Adobe Reader, but not for 64 bit systems which is what I am running.  A 64-bit filter is available at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4025, but I have not tried.

• Can we copy the folder and the name of the data file from Windows Explorer and paste as text in Word or Excel?

  I have two records with a similar file; some of them are duplicates, and some may have the same name, but contain different data.

  I would like to compare files from both folders by name and size of the file.  In this way, I could say if I duplicate files, or files with the same name with different data.

  I would copy and paste this information (as text or values) in Word or Excel.  Any way to do it?  Any other suggestions re: comparing these files?

  Just take the b out of my order and you will get info from size.

• Windows Explorer does not display text seen when scrolling

  Hi, it's hard to explain, but my music library on a hard drive high school and is the only folder with music, but, when I go to my music library, and scroll by grabbing the scroll bar, the small white box that appears always says, 'mp3, unspecified' - rather than the name of the folder.

  If I go DIRECTLY to this folder, that is to say, this car and to scroll, it works.
  I have removed/re-added the folder to the library, and configured to optimize for the music, it still does not work.
  Thoughts?

  Back in your library, testing of up-right, choose "arrange by" and selecting a different option.  If the problem persists in other arrangements, I recommend the deletion of the library itself and recreate.  No file will be lost in that.

• List of copy of the files from Windows Explorer in the form of text in an application...

  Windows will always add something, or a menu item to copy a list of files in Windows Explorer in the form of text in an application?  I would like to run a DOS command (dir c: /s > c - example.txt) as I did years ago, but as I'm sure your aware, constantly been availible for years and your virtualization Windows MS-DOS command line is incompatible with my new computer... All solutions would be grately appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hi Dave,.

  I have good news for you:

  There are two ways to do what you want:

  The first is the simplest and is already in Windows 7 (and Vista by the way):

  1. highlight one or more files that you want to know the way in Explorer.
  2. press and hold the SHIFT keyand right-click on one of the highlighted files.
  3. when the popup menu appears, click the entry in the path of the copy which appeared as if by magic, because you're now the SHIFT key.

  A slightly better method, IMO, but it takes a little extra work is to add an extension to the send menu to allow you to right-click on one or more files and choose send to-> Clipboard (as name).  This somehow me seems more practical, because I'm used to the way in which the rear PowerToys when.  Such an extension, which also adds a nice Panel to help you manage the menu send to, is a neat package small freeware called send to toys, by Gabriele Ponti, which can be downloaded here: http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/index.html#sendtotoys

  A nice feature of the program send to toys, is that you can even have it put quotes around any path to file that contains white space.  Practice indeed!

  I hope this helps!

  P.S., A command line similar to BACK tool is still (and always has been) available.  On the start menu, select: Start -> all programs -> Accessories -> command prompt.  Or you can just run: CMD.exe

• Whenever I try to search in Windows Explorer, the files listed do not have the requested content.

  Hello.

  One of my end-users using Windows search in Explorer to search for a particular value (> 8).  Once the search is complete, several files are listed, but when it opens in Word 2010 and looks exactly the same value, it is said that the value is found.  Why the world is happening?  What research watch hidden in files, or only the visible content attributes?
  Thank you.

  The content property is not available on the upper level, less than, or other symbols comparative.  You can only search for characters.    And if you try to find the real character > itself, which does not work well.  The only non-alphanumeric characters that are available are ____, /, and -(I have tested the symbols on the keyboard).

  Update: I have found since the other characters are available, using a special syntax.  For example:

  content: ~ = "> 8"

  Who would find files that contain characters specific > 8 anywhere, as long as they are together in this order.

  [Update: apparently special search symbols such as ~ = do not work with the content when property indexed research places, but work during the search in unindexed locations.]

  And another thing, simply chokes Windows 7 Search on the search for Word files when these same Word files are open, especially if they are in a folder with a large number of files, if I remember that well.
