    Can't find files.
    I have some software (Storage Sync) that I use to backup files to a USB hard disk. When I run it, it backsup several files that are labeled Album Art. The problem I have is that I can not (using Windows Search) find these files (I would like to delete them). Can someone point me towards a better search engine than Windows search? Freeware or shareware. Or maybe someone just has a better idea of how to search for them (I made sure I was checking hidden and system files). Thanks for any assistance.

    Nope, Google Desktop. It indexes all kinds of files on the drives that you specify.

    So I got Goggle Desktop. It took almost 24 hours to build an index. However, it doesn't find those files either. Looks like it would be great if you were looking for a word sequence within a file since it has an index built but it didn't do any better at finding the files I'm looking for -- although it didn't take it as long as Windows search to not find them. More suggestions I hope?

    Update -- I just tried searching for a file that know is on my system. Goggle Desktop didn't find it either. It found 8 E-Mails with that word in them but 0 files. Something wrong with how I installed it?
