Windows explorer 7 search

[Gene E. Bloch]

[quoted text muted]
Not really. Firstly, it indexes contents as well as file names. That
makes it a security risk.

How, pray tell, is indexing contents a security risk?

And that is only one aspect. The search index is a effectively a
summary of everything on your hard disk which you have allowed to be
indexed.

Which -- again -- chops off your rant at the knees. The index isn't
a security risk because the whole content is already there.

Yeah, but it's not *indexed* if you disallow search indexing.

....OK, I'm just agreeing with you in my usual slightly ironic way

I found PowerDesk 8 after a suggested recommendation by a trusted
friend.

It is not free but there is a trial version. So far, it exceeds my
needs. I will most likely pay for the License!

If you're going to spend money, look at Directory Opus also.
It's even more comprehensive than PowerDesk.
I've been using it for a while.
