I would be surprised if it were not possible to run them both at one
time. Copernic has long been a good program, too. One thing I like a lot
about WDS is that it doesn't seem to consume a huge amount of resources
or file size. For me, all other things being relatively equal, the thing
that would tip the scales one way or the other would be a significant
difference in space and resource consumption.

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?
Bonnie
