I have noticed that on both my Wxp Home and Wxp Pro systems, that when I
search looking for 'words' within a file using a NON-mapped network drive,
that nothing is showing up unless it is a like a Word or Excel file. Worked
fine under W2000. Any ideas?

Content based search on XP is 'suffix' aware.

If there isn't a context handler, search will not examine the contents of
the file.
