I believe I may have found out what's going on with this search issue below, but WHY, I have NO idea or see how it's possible.
Every CD I place in the CDROM drive is somehow being "added to some kind of CD burning cache" on the C: drive in the folder mentioned in the email below! I placed another CD in the drive other than the XP CD. I opened a folder in the root directory (a sub folder) then opened a "Readme" file and found something specific, then I searched for that specific thing by right clicking the CDROM drive icon and "Search", and put the words in the "A word or phrase in the file" area. Ok, it found the Readme file, but it says the location where it was found was (get this)... C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\CD Burning\then the correct **FOLDER** where the Readme file is located, but NOT on the CDROM, in the folder on the C: drive!! But, it's the SAME folder NAME! How the heck are the files on a CD being placed on the HD just by SEARCHING the CDROM drive??????? When I right click the found file and click "open containing folder" it goes to that exact location mentioned above on the C: drive! Yet, the status bar at the bottom of the search window gives the CDROM DRIVE PATH where the file is really located!! However, when I try and DELETE the file in the location mentioned above on the HD, it says "cannot delete, files on this CD are read only" !!! What is going on here?? Why is the search showing the location on the HD instead of the CDROM drive?? Can someone on SP2 please verify if this is "normal" behavior for SP2? I certainly hope not. If not, then might anyone know how to fix this? This happens on "Classic" search AND the default XP search layout. Thank you, -Clint ----- Original Message ----- From: "Support-OrpheusComputing.com" Here's something else I just noticed, it won't find sub files either! Like I said below, it will find the i386 folder if you search for it, but when I try to search for "default" (which is the first file in the i386 folder), it won't find it either....at least not on the CD. It shows it in the C:/Documents and settings/~~/CD burning/i386 folder! -Clint ----- Original Message ----- From: "Support-OrpheusComputing.com" Hoo boy, here's another one (and more to come). On the SP2 computer every time I search for something **on a specific drive**, the search is INSISTENT upon searching ALL drives, hard and optical! It even does it when you try and search a **CD** for something, and it finds things on the C: hard drive! Does anyone know how to stop this? I tried to search for ntdll.dll on the XP CD, and the SP2 computer wouldn't even find it! It instead found the files on C: drive! I put the CD in my SP1 PC and it found the files fine on the CD. (I'm having ntdll.dll crashes, that's why I have copy of the files on the C: drive in more than one area. That in another post). Why won't SP2 find what's WITHIN a CD? It will find the i386 folder for example, since that's the name of a folder, but it won't find files within .cab files for example when I search for "a word or phrase within a file", which is the only way to find ntdll.dll. I'm using "classic search"). Thanks for any info, -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
