Thanks, Dan. I did consider after clicking Send that I probably just didn't
look hard enough... I got really annoyed at what it was doing to my computer
and just uninstalled it a couple of weeks ago. Until yesterday, I thought my
only choices were Google's and Copernic's desktop search, so I was delighted
to find out about WDS. I inexplicably never searched for another program. If
WDS doesn't work out for some reason, I may reinstall Copernic, which, if I
recall correctly, has superior view choices in a file -- filmstrip, etc. I
don't know for sure if WDS does but I didn't see it.
Do you think it's possible to run them both at one time?
