Searching ZIP files...


Recommended Posts

Is there any way I can have the search utility NOT search the zip files within the folder (and subfolders)?

I'm getting a massive listing of files and it's all because XP is searching the ZIP files themselves. How do I turn this off?

Thanks in advance,

Figured out a way...

- Did a search for "*.zip"

- Selected all files and went to "Properties"

- Changed the "Attributes" to "Hidden"

- Opened another search window

- Searched for the files I was looking for and deleted them (what I wanted to do)

- Closed this window and went back to the first search window

- Selected all again and got rid of the "Hidden" attribute

Excellent :)
