how come with all the web pages microsoft has its still a
big pain in the *** to find and or understand most of the
crap they post?

i have two questions regarding windows xp explorer's search
first anyone know how to get search results to not include
files inside i zipps? if i wanted to find all animated
cursors then copy them to a location i would search for *.ani
then when i get results cntrl-a to select all and copy them
to a location and copy should work even if the file is
bieng used and becuase xp shows file inside archives it
just errors until i go through my results and un highlite
the files from archives
if you think that sucks imaging trying to organize zips
with search and there are achives zipped in archives!

also i wonder is there option the can find empty folders?
(directorys) id love to be able to find folders by size!
