INDEX FILES ON MY COMPUTER.

Busy with a data center move and am new to the job.  

I keep on getting files that I want to refer to in the future so I create a directory on my xp system named /reference.

I do a search on it by right clicking on it.  

Problems are:  
   1) it does not seem to look into excel spread sheets well and
   2) it is getting slow.

I would like to search this fast.

   3) A total dream would be if I could share it off my system and my team members could use an index but this is not a requirement.   If the first 2 requirement work, I am good.  If the third works I will be amazed.

I have just a normal xp box that is on all day, every day.

OK - this totally rocks.  

I have tried other stuff in the past but it hogged up the CPU.  

This just worked, quick too.

Glad to hear your problem is sorted!
Have a good day,
