    OSX Finder like search plug-in for Windows Explorer in XP

    OSX has this great feature where you type the file name in the finder Window and it finds the file on your hard drive. Is there a plug-in that would work for this on Windows XP? It's very useful for when you are attaching files. Thanks.

    I have a Dell D630 laptop with an 80GB Seagate hard drive. I recently bought an X25-M. I used disc-copy from EASEUS to do a bit by bit copy of the OS from the original drive to the new. The new disc seems to work fine and starts to boot, but then blue screens. Sadly, the screen doesn't last...
