For some reason, the path in the Search was saying c:\Documents and Settings\Old User\My Documents, etc. but the actual path was a bit different 'My Recent Documents' (or something). Anyway, I found the project, copied it to a different simpler location and played a bit (thus my .NET questions).
I'm wondering is where a way to go to the folder from the Search dialog results?
Or should I install a better Search program (forgot its name)?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
