Search a Drive under Vista?

Help & Support
1

Dear All,

I'm sure it's here somewhere, but I can't find it. Why can't I search under a drive under Vista? Right-click on a drive, no Search option ... and no way to do it from a menu.

Just select the drive and hit F3 on the keyboard ??
Or Tools -> Find Panel

Or try this (Vista):

Open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then browse down to the following key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\find

Find the LegacyDisable key on the right-hand side and either delete it, or rename it to something else. That's all you have to do… now you can right-click on a drive and see the Search… option!

Here's another one: If you want to add DOpus find to the context menu of a drive, you could try something like this:

Settings -> File Types -> System File Types -> double click b Drive [/b] -> Context Menu Tab -> Click New ... ->

Action: DOpus Find
Type: Run an application
Application: C:\Program Files\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe /cmd FIND
