Windows Vista in a Nushell: Working With the Filesystem, Drives, Data, and Search

Overview At the heart of Windows Vista are the filesystem and the files in it; without files, there's no reason to use a computer, after all. When Windows Vista was first announced, Microsoft had big plans for a completely redone filesystem, along with powerful search tools, all built on top of a new filesystem database. Reality intruded, and those plans had to be curtailed. Still, despite that, the ways to navigate the hard disk and find files have been dramatically upgraded compared to previous versions of Windows. Windows Explorer has gotten a facelift, along with new capabilities for filtering and viewing files. And the new Search is one of Windows Vista's best new features.
