An incredibly useful hack! You’ve probably gone through the drill more than once—search, then specify that it’s case-sensitive, then specify that you want to search subfolders, and so on and so forth. Use this hack to specify the search parameters that makes it most omfortable for you to search your system.
Navigate to:
HCU\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer
Set any of the following DWORD Values to 1 or to 0. What to set them to is obvious.
CaseSensitive: Do a case-sensitive search
IncludeSubFolders: Search subfolders
SearchHidden: Search hidden files and folders
SearchSlowFiles: Search tape backup
SearchSystemDirs: Search system folders
The next time you conduct a search, you won’t need to enter a single parameter!
