Very interesting and useful – I didn't know about "windows F" command. Also on my Win7 laptop – searching for "type pdf" brings up pdf files and all emails in outlook that have pdf attachments. Then I discovered "type:=.pdf" which only brings up pdf files and shows a snippet of their text content – even more useful, perhaps!
