Hey all,

I'm trying to locate one specific text file, I would like to search the contents of a number of text files within a folder - is there an easy way to do this?

i.e. say you have 300 text files in a folder ans you know one has something unique in it like 'pineapple' or something like that?!

    XP: Search -> "Containing text:" box.

    Eventually got this to work btw thrax - I'm on vista - it seems you have to search for the string - it then searches file names, and not contents - when its done that it allows you to search in contents - which takes an absolute age, but then does work :D
