    I started searching my harddisk using the Find tool you get with Win98SE, for a certain string and i was wondering why everything started to get really sllooooooow! Then i ran system monitor and allocated memory says "207.3M" and it was raising all the time! What is happening???

    Wink yeah

    It has to scan the whole disk, that´s why it´s really slow.

    There is a pretty beatyful program named "SearchIt" that is a must for that task. Search the net or go to: http://www.yi.com/home/vasicekrobert

    Has to search for the file and the string inside the file, takes time.

    <sarcasm>
    I know, its sad, because busy people, like you kedaman, don't have time to wait the 3+ minutes it takes .

    Hey, it took me 10 minutes, and that's way too much, and i had only search trough the first disk. BTW, i know it takes a lot of time searching trough all files but why does it have to eat all my memory???!?? I stopped the thing and it didn't give me back it either.
