It works fine in Windows 2000, but they broke it horribly in Windows XP 
when they "extended" it to ignore certain directories and types of 
files.  You have to jump through all sorts of hoops and enable the 
indexing service in order to get it to search all files in XP.  So, the 
results of the utility cannot be trusted in XP.
