In this tutorial we will show you how to activate the new search feature in Windows Vista. This feature allows you to quickly search a folder by just starting to type the name of the file you are looking for. This comes in handy when searching a file in a big folder.

First step in activating this new feature is to open a folder, any big folder in your computer. For example we chosen the Windows folder. To maximize the photos simply click on them.

Now click the Organize button, the one marked with red like in the picture below.

Then select Folder and Search Options.

Here select the View tab.

Then select Automatically type into the Search Box option like we did and click Apply.

And now you’re done. You can type any word and find it in your folder. For example we typed desktop and the feature reavealed every file that contained the desktop word.

Hope you liked this tutorial…stay tuned! More tutorials will come!
