Cannot Search for Files Containing Text on CDFS/NTFS Drives (190290)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 for Windows NT 4.0
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 for Windows NT 4.0
This article was previously published under Q190290 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Find command to search for files containing text, the
search may not work correctly.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Active Desktop is installed, and you are
searching a drive that uses the Compact Disk File System (CDFS) or NT File
System (NTFS) with files whose Access Control List (ACL) is set to Read-
Only.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain and install Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 2. You can obtain Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 2 from the following Microsoft Web site: STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Internet Explorer 4.0,
4.01, and 4.01 Service Pack 1.
MORE INFORMATION
When you install Active Desktop, the Shell32.dll file is updated. This
file contains the search routine used by the Find command. There is a
problem with the way that the routine in the Shell32.dll file tries to
open read-only files that causes these files not to be read at all. This
problem also prevents these files from being displayed in the list of
found files.
