It simply never found any..... Gee the .xsd is an unknown file type so....I'm going to pretend it ain't there....... Whoever made that decision was on his way to google & wanted to help his new employer or is as thick as pig sh*t. Such crap as: "For example, the HTML 3.0 filter (Nlhtml.dll) ignores text that is contained in comments in an HTML file (for example, a file with an .htm or .asp extension) because the text is not displayed when you open the file in a browser." Huh???? Riiiigggggght...... & the "To configure Windows XP to search all files no matter what the file type, obtain the latest service pack for Windows XP and then turn on the Index file types with unknown extensions option" Nah mate I just wanted you to search the files you feel like & not all of them like I asked......
