    File Explorer not finding text in PRG files


    I create a file in a folder named test.txtI enter the text Prodigy and save.I create another file in the same folder named test.prgI enter the text Prodigy and save.I open File Explorer and enter the test Prodigy in the search box.It finds the test.txt file but does NOT find the test.prg file.I have went thru a bunch of remedies. I haveWent to Indexing Option, Advanced and File Types tab. Added prg extension and reindexed, restarted, stopped and restarted the windows search service. Nothing fixes this.Thanks,John CookBulletproof Software, IncCatawba, NC

    Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
    Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

    dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

    When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.

    File Explorer Search Not Working


    I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.
