Hi,

For the search tool: Start/Search/"For Files or Folders..."

I save my query by clicking "Save Search" on the "File" menu as described in:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...308885&sd=tech

But when I double click the saved ".fnd" file, I always get a "File Download"
dialog box(see attachment).

If I click the "Open" button, the same dialog box show up again. Does anybody
know how to fix this?

Thanks so much!!!

perry.

And your Outlook Express question is? I assume you're using XP since that is
what the article applies to.

Hi,

Thanks so much for your reply!

Actually I think this question should be about Windows 2000 or Internet explorer...

Anyway my problem is: how do I open the ".fnd" files?

Everytime I open a ".fnd" file, I get a "File Download" dialog box(see attachment).


Thanks again~~~


perry.

Ask in the Windows 2000 newsgroup. This is Outlook Express.

See the info at this link about "fnd" files:

An Unofficial Guide to the Windows FND File Format:
http://www.cyanwerks.com/file-format-fnd.html

To open a "fnd" file, you just double click it and the Search windows will
open with the criteria filled in for the search:
