Hi,
In Vista Windows Explorer, I can't find a way to search ONLY the file names, not contents. It's painfully slow when simply searching for a file type, like *.mp3 etc. How can I tell Windows Explorer to just search the file names and not all the contents, etc., of the files?

This was so easy in XP, I must be missing something.

Thanks!
Frank
 
Open Windows Explorer. From the Tools menu, click Folder Options. Click the
Search tab and configure the setting accordingly.
