I'm not sure how to solve your problem with Windows Find, other than by doing it manually in the registry as the article suggests (some fix, huh?). However, I have the following code in my startup program to add a menu option for a Find provided by FoxPro. I use 6.0, so I'm not sure if this will work in 7.0. When using this Find, double-clicking a found file will open it in the FoxPro text editor.
**
** Add a menu choice for the FoxPro Filer tool.

DEFINE BAR 20 OF _mtools PROMPT "\-"
DEFINE BAR 21 OF _mtools PROMPT "\<Filer" MESSAGE "Finds files and directories"
ON SELECTION BAR 21 OF _mtools DO FORM (HOME( ) + 'TOOLS\FILER\FILER.SCX')
