If you want an almost instantaneous Search program for XP, try out Cathy.exe.

An extremly small, very fast and easy to use media cataloging tool. You can use it to index files stored on removable media (CD-ROMs, LS120, Iomega Zip and Jaz disks, or even diskettes), hard disks or net drives, and create searchable catalogs that can be used without having access to original media. Searching capabilities are based on file name, date and size. Additional features include filtering options, search duplicates or singles, customizable date format, etc. Found files can be opened (executed) or deleted directly, if they are present. Drag&drop support. Directory trees, MP3 album/song lists can be printed, disk space usage can be investigated. Single file executable, no install needed.

It is lightning fast when set up. The only downside is that you have to manually re-index your drives when you think it necessary (weekly, or when you add lots of files). It leaves the MS poor doggie deep in doggie-do.

AND IT IS ONLY 45KB in SIZE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bazza

The only real good features in Vista is its instantaneous search function instead of waiting for the dog to poop and the security which will probably make the n00bs click happy and therefore negate it's effectiveness. (
