| Search Just Hard Drives SUMMARY: Use Windows 98's search feature to only scan your hard drives for files, ignoring slow floppy and CD-ROM drive access.
In previous versions of Windows, when performing a "Find," you could search all of your drives with one click. This was accomplished by selecting "My Computer" under "Look In." Unfortunately, this included your floppy, CD-ROM, and other external devices.
Now, with Windows 98, you can just search your local hard drives and skip the other devices. Click the "Start" button, choosing "Find," then "Files or Folders." On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, click on the "Look in" pulldown and select the option "Local Hard Drives."
