I was wondering If I can call that neat Find dialog box from litestep.

I know there are 3rd party find programs but the 'original' comes packed with windows.

If you dont know what Im talking about: pressing ctrl+F in any 'normal' explorer window opens a find dialog.

anybody???

That dialog is part of the explorer shell. You must use an external application or module to allow that functionality.

Moshi said earlier:

yes that function does not work with alternative shells. you might want to try a little tool to find files. it´s faster than the explorer funtion anyways.
get find.zip from here: http://www.shellfront.org/utils/

yup, listen to the guys. That find-util will prevent you from ever going back to the ms-one!

Cheers for the link SenexFerox, found the Find.zips

MS is weird, all the other dialogs work with other stuff...why not Find also ??? seems strange. Maybe its because of explorers 'File managing' properties...or something.

Does anybody know ?
