Request for Software

I'd like a package that can scan the Startup folders for all ids and find whats there, so that when I'm trying to locate a program I don't use too often (Where's that damn Calculator? Is it under Accessories? Office? ), I could just type in the name and let it find it -- or, failing that, generate a visual map of every entry and all of its subentries. Easy? You bet. By me? No way.

Gee, G, even I know that. But when its five layers deep in a menu, I get tired of looking! (Not to mention the program entries that for some reason don't have a menu entry). Those are the times I miss the Windows 3.1 interface....

And T? If programs could read my mind? My PC would be a smoking heap of slag.

Switch to Mac. :) That function has been built into the operating system. It's called Spotlight.

Well, heck, MA, of course you'd say that! (g)
