Search File On Dvd "not Found."
Oct 7, 2009
When I highlight (select) my DVD RW Drive (F and do a search for a file that I know is on the disc, it comes up "not found." If I search the folder on the disc which contains the file, it is found. So it appears I'm unable to search the disc as a whole, but instead must select individual folders within the disc to search. Is it possible this is really how search is designed in Vista? I can put the same disc in an XP machine and immediately find the file by searching the disc as a whole.

I can't find a way to search for file types in Vista without entering part of a file name. For example, if I want to search my C drive for all PDF files or all photos, the search function won't work without entering text from a file name (which doesn't work, because all files of a particular type don't necessarily share letters or characteristics in their names). Has anyone else experienced this problem, or am I missing something?

I've been around here a couple of time in the last couple of years with my Vista machine and you all always seem to have the answers for me. So here I go again. Now I'm sure there is a simple fix for this, but I can't seem to find it. I happen to have two files now that I can NOT delete. I keep getting the message; Could not find this item. This is no longer lacated in C:UsersRoyBoyFavorites. Verify the item's location and try again................

xxxx file could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct. The file path is fixed due the email program ( Eudora ) and you can see the attachment as " available " but can not open it. The file is saved on OCULT FILES, inside of USERS.

I assume I picked up a virus. My comp says the autoexec.bat file cannot be found. The window sockets are not operating. When I hit the F10 key all the entries are gone. I have vista and i have the operating disc that came with it, however it does not work in the drive. It pops up and says to boot from cd or dvd press any key, then it goes back to the blue windows screen with my icons. How do i format the hd so i can reinstall windows.

When I perform a search in the Search Results window, showing any kind of icon view (instead of list, details, or tiles), the results show up without file names visible. This only happens when I run a search from the Search Results window (Windows Key + F), not when I run a search from a folder window.

I have a file in my appdata folder that I'd like to check and see if duplicates exist in other (sub) folders. I copy the filename exactly and then paste it in the search box on the start button. Vista says there are no such files. Meanwhile I'm looking at at least one copy of the file in another window?
How can I search my entire harddrive for a file since the old XP search seems to have been removed?

In windows XP's search options you could use the option to find a phrase within a set of files. I want to search all .bat files for the phrase "Z:" How do I do this in vista?

Where is the setting on Vista which lets you change your search settings, so that you can search only part of the file name, and the file will come up. Someone changed it on my dad's computer, and I have been looking for about an hour, and I still can't find it.

this happened around one year ago before i discovered this site.. one day i clicked on start and on the music tab.. then an error occurred.. it says that the file location cannot be found. then i browsed 'my computer' there i saw that there are two files separated, a file location with the icon of the music folder, and one with simply a folder icon.. after five days, same thing happened with the my documents folder.. the separate file with the folder icon contains every single file of the "REAL" icon. while the other one has nothing in it.. same with the music icon..

I have a 4gb Kingston Flash Drive, and when i try to copy some file which are large in size such as anything greater than 400 mb (movie) i get an error: "Could Not Find This Item. This item is no longer located in (directory) Verify the Items locations and try again." However i have verified that the file (movie) is there and works, however i have gotten this error after several attempts, i have tried reformatting the flash drive. Also i have changed the security settings for the that folder and have checked the Full Control icon, however i still get the same error.
I would also like to mention is when i copy something such as some pictures which are less than 100mb they do transfer fine. Also when i transfer something from my external hard drive to the flash drive such a Movie (does not matter the size) it also transfers, so there is something wrong with the settings on the computer, however i am unsure what it is.

Everytime when I try to open Microsoft Office 2007 I'm getting message: this file could not be found, (C:Windowssystem32Files.doc. After this I press OK button and I'm getting second one: The directory name is not valid. (C:Windowssystem32(x86) Microsoft.doc) I press Ok and program open and works fine. I know that I can use it but this things really bother me because I know that something is wrong and maybe later it will be bigger problem.

Windows Vista's file search is maybe for just casual searches, not for serious searches. I often need to find files with various criteria such as file size, date or string in the text and so on. Is there any file search utility that you would recommend?

I've got a hard copy of an Excel file but it doesn't have a title. I don't know the file name nor do I know the date that it was done. In Windows Vista (Enterprise 2007) is there a way to search for a file on my computer based on key words in the file content?

I have an issue that I have just notied several files that I deleted over a month ago are still visible when doing searches on my computer. When trying to delete that I'm told that it is "no longer located in" the folder it was.
When looking in the original folder the files were in they are not visible.
They can only be seen when doing a search. Does anyone know how to completely get rid of them?
I believe this should happen automatically, but it does not appear to have worked as it was a long time ago that I originally deleted them.

WindowsXp was the best OS ever, after a few registry patches (e.g. notorious failing Search by file contents), a few tweaks, and in my case total COLORS customization, and in Classic mode, in the end it wasd the best.it took several days to customize, and one. With Vista, it's a dead end. Explorer forgets views. Mail needs a fix before it can open doc, pdf, etc attachments form within mail instead of saving first Black background or COlorSchemes in egenral is a problem if you dare to select it............

I performed a "search" for a portion of a name of an encryption program that we deleted from our computer because it didn't appear to be fully compatible with vista, even tho the creators said it was (they did admit tho that they didn't test it)...the "search" turned up 335 items, most of which were "image files". We cannot delete the thumbnails because it says the file or folder has been deleted. These items came up as search results in indexed locations. we tried to go to the location and delete that way with no luck.

I am using Vista Business on my laptop, and I have downloaded the extension that lets me search my Lotus notes emails also. The problem is that this seems to lead to an ever-increasing mail file in Lotus. I am now at a 10 GB (!!) mail file, and it seems to be growing every time I use the desktop search. this not limited to Vista, btw, other people have the same problem under XP. Has anybody seen this before, and if so, is there a solution to this? Obviously, at some point I will run out of HD space...Sorry if this is the wrong forum. If so, where should I post this?

Why can't I search and find all locations of a specific file extension? I used to be able to do that! When I try it now it only allows the search in one directory!
I'm not new to windows or computers.

Vista search seems to be trying to do far more than I want; as a result I often get no useful results. What I almost always want is a simple file name search, i.e., given a part or all of a file name (perhaps with simple wildcards), find all the files and folders whose names match that from a particular starting device or folder. This was really easy to do with XP and earlier versions of Windows; It seems so hard to do in Vista.

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate with Windows Defender Disabled and Norton Internet Security 2009 installed. Someone who is completely trusted sent me an email with an attachment. The attachment was defined as a ZIPP file. I copied the file to my desktop and renamed it to a ZIP file to access the enclosed files. Within the ZIP are four OCX files which I need to copy to my System32 directory.
When I attempt to copy the files to any location in my computer, I get "Windows has found this file is potentially harmful. To help protect your computer, Windows has blocked access to this file." When I click on the "How does this help protect my computer." link it takes me to Windows Mail help. This has nothing to do with Windows Mail. Where can I adjust the Security settings in Windows to fix this problem
