Very minor question: Search with wildcards
When searching a file, I'm used to use wildcards. F.ex., to solve a problem with MediaCenter and check a certain file I suspected was the cause (but didn't remember the exact name from a previous check), I typed in "eh*.*" . Result: The same as I would have typed "*eh*.*", in other words - I'm shown files with "eh" at the filename's beginning,"eh" in the middle of the name, "eh" everywhere. Yes, the desired file was among the astonishing amount of eHome-files but I'm feeling that's a way to complicate things, not to make them easier. Isn't there a way to delimit the search process to that sort of files I'm interested in?Mob. AMD64 3000+, 1 G RAM, Mob. ATIRadeon9700, 20x DVDRW, C:XPSP3 (55G),D:WIN7 (25G),F:DATA (250G)

Enclose your search term in quotes - literally writing "eh*.*" in the search box. That will guarantee a search result of files beginning with 'eh'. (it did for me at least).
