I would like to modify the default Search list in my XP Pro search
function. Specifically, I would like to add a folder on another drive
so I don't have to 'browse' to it each time. Can this be done?

Hi Penthor,

I'm not sure if you can add custom locations to the "Look in" drop-down listing, but here is a workaround which you may be interested in.

How to launch Search Companion with the "Look in" option pointing to a specific folder or drive?:
