Windows XP TechTip #6 >> Search

The default search module in Windows XP (launched by pressing [Windows]+F or F3 in some cases) can load up faster without the animated dog.



Kick out the dog by starting Search. Click on the "Change Preferences", and click "Without an animated screen character". Out, doggie!

I would presume that you use this program to search for files and folders most of the time. If this is true, then I think it would be convenient if you change the search behavior this way:

Click on "Change Preferences", select "Change files and folders search behavior" and finally, select the "Advanced" option.



That's it. ^__^
