    When you search for a file in Windows (choose Start, Search, For Files or Folders, or press &lt;F3&gt; in any Explorer or folder window to open the search pane), Windows searches only for file types it recognizes. Files that aren't listed in the 'Registered file types' list are ignored (to view this list, open Explorer, choose Tools, Folder Options, and click the File Types tab). So while 'Read_Me.xyz' may be a perfectly good file name to you, Windows pays it no mind because of the unrecognized '.xyz' file extension. </DIV><BR />To fix this, navigate to<BR /><DIV>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex</DIV><BR /><DIV>Double-click the FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions icon in the right pane, change the 0 in the 'Value data' box to 1, and press &lt;Enter&gt;. </DIV><BR />- I got this tweak from PC World magazine...
