searching for a file on HD

Vista's search method differs radically from XP's. For the life of me, I
cannot figure out how to get VISTA to search my entire harddrive for a
particular file name.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Open 'Computer', was 'My Computer'.
Right click on whichever drive you wish to search.
Click on 'Search' & enter search criteria in search box.

Use the same method for any folder you wish to search, or even
'Computer' itself to search everything.

Hope that helps.
David
