Does anyone know how to find a list of Read-Only files in
the Windows XP Search facility.
Thanks
 
i am not sure about the search window, but you may do so using the command
prompt.

open the command prompt (start > run > type cmd)
at the command prompt, type dir c: /ar /s
**you may change c: to d: if you want to search drive d. substitute c: with
any drive: wherever necessary.
**/ar searches for read only files. to list hidden files which may also be
read only files, subsitute /ar with /arh (r=read only h=hidden attributes)
**/s searches the folders within the present folder.

for more info on the dir command, type dir/?

hope that helps.
