XP Find Function

The XP "Find" Function will only search for files in "My Documents." The
Find Function does not list or recognize any other folder, nor does it list
either my primary hard drive (C) or my storage drive (F). Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time.

Use Windows explorer. Just right click on the top directory of the drive you
want to search and select search. If all you see is my documents, click on
the little plus sign beside the local disk to open it up. You may need a
course on directory structure.

There is no plus sign next to the local disk. In fact, there is only My
Documents....no C Drive, F Drive, CD, CD-ROM, nothing. The only option to
select is My Documents. Any other suggestions???
