when I access the Search window and start typing something a letter a whole
word shows up that I didn't type similar to Word or Excel. Can I shut down
this feature? If so, how?
 
I'm inquiring once again b/c I mistyped my 1st msg. I meant to say: "when I
start typing in SEARCH FOR FILES AND FOLDERS NAMED section an entire word
comes up as well as any other that begins with that letter or first two
letters, etc. I only want to know how to shut that feature down on the search
window. Can that be done?
 
Change preferences, Turn AutoComplete Off.

Bob, thanks for your response. I have Win2000. I can't find the
preferences/auto complete

Ack, sorry, thinking WinXP, try opening Internet Explorer and then Tools
Internet options, Content, Auto complete. Also r-click the taskbar, and
properties, Advanced and clear, to remove the old stuff.
