 * Add new file extensions to Windows search **

Windows can search the contents of your files, but it only searches certain types of files. If you have a proprietary application that creates files with an extension Windows does not recognize as being one of the types it normally searches, you can add the file type to the search function. Here is how: -

If there are file types listed that you //don't// want Windows to search, you can uncheck their boxes in the list.
 * 1) In the Start menu's Search box, type "**Indexing Options**"
 * 2) In the Indexing Options dialog box, click the **Advanced** button
 * 3) Click the **File Types** tab
 * 4) At the bottom of the windows, click the **Add** button to add a new extension to the list
