I wanted to find the Outlook .pst files on my C drive.
I set the advanced options..
.. Search for *.pst (also tried .pst)
.. Location: Local Disk (C
.. Include non-indexed, hidden & system files.
In the first 1 second the search returns 7 .pst files from the Recycle bin
of my M drive!!! WHY??
Then the search goes on & on & on for hours.. after a further 2 hours it
still had not found any more. I let it run all afternoon. When I came back
several hours later it had found a few more files with "pst" in the title AND
it eventually found my wanted Outlook .pst file. When I did the same search
on my XP PC it found my .pst file in a few seconds. Please could someone
explain what's going on. Why is it so much harder to get a result in Vista.
All the search options are all over the screen instead of in one area, and
many of the straightforward choices are not there any more.
