Windows Desktop Search

[PaulS]

I downloaded and installed the latest version of Windows Desktop Search. I
had the Beta version before. It is a great tool!

Here's my problem: when I had the Beta version I was able to search my
computer's hard drive plus all network drives I have access to. Now I can
only search my computer's hard dirive. I checked the "email and all hard
disks" in the Desktop Search options and then selected "Index Now." Still I
can only search my personal computer and not the network drives where I store
virtually evrything.

Anyone know what I need to do to be able to search the network drives again?
How come there is no "help" in the Widows Desktop Search" toolbar. Quite a
problem.

Sorry but I am not familiar with the letter designations you are using. I
know that DTS means desktop search but what does "win ng's" mean?

Why would Microsoft release an important peice of sftware life the new DTS
but then not provide a "help function" so we know how to use it? I'm about
ready to ditch it and go back to Google's DTS.
