It works fine in Windows 2000, but they broke it horribly in Windows XP when they "extended" it to ignore certain directories and types of files. You have to jump through all sorts of hoops and enable the indexing service in order to get it to search all files in XP. So, the results of the utility cannot be trusted in XP.
What's wrong with Start, Search, All files and folders, Look in Local Hard Drives? I just tested it on XP SP1, it worked well. Doesn't it get around what you describe if you click "All files and folders" instead of "Pictures, music, or video" or "Documents"?
