    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.

    Do you mean for me to download the Google toolbar?

    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?
