    Find every files on your PC

    When you search for a file in Windows (choose Start, Search, For Files or Folder
    s, or press in any Explorer or folder window to open the search pane),
    Windows searches only for file types it recognizes. Files that aren't listed in
    the 'Registered file types' list are ignored (to view this list, open Explorer,
    choose Tools, Folder Options, and click the File Types tab).
    So while 'Read_Me.xyz' may be a perfectly good file name to you, Windows pays it
    no mind because of the unrecognized '.xyz' file extension. Fortunately, a simpl
    e edit of the Registry will make Windows search for every file, regardless of it
    s extension. Open the Registry Editor as described above,
    and then navigate to and select
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\ContentIndex.
    Double-click the FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions icon in the right
    pane, change the 0 in the 'Value data' box to 1, and press .
