| When I go to Help and Support and bring up the
| topic "Search for a file or folder", I receive
| instructions that state in part, " 1. Click Start, point
| to Search, and then click For Files or Folders. 2. Click
| All files and folders. Important: If you do not see All
| files and folders, you have probably changed your default
| search behavior [so] 1. Click Change preferences. 2. Click
| Change files and folders search behavior. 3. Click
| Standard, and then click OK. 4. Click All files and
| folders".
|
| When my search window opens, which is titled "Search
| Results" on my computer, and not "Search Companion" as
| used in Help and support, I do not find "All Files and
| Folders", or any of the four steps set forth above to
| correct the default search behavior.
|
| Can you please tell me why my computer is different than
| the instructions in Help and Support and how I can make it
| conform to Help and Support? Thank you, Robert

First, let me commend you for reading the Help Files. There is a
lot of useful information in them, if you know how to search for
it.

As for the difference, me thinks your computer is configured to
"use Windows Classic Folder." For more information search the
Windows XP Help and Support Center for the phrase in
double-quotes and read the Suggested Topic by that title.
