Hi Nelda (et al),

This is such a good question that it merits sharing with the Win7 Workgroup
addressed on the BCC line.

In the search results, right-click on the desired result. In the ensuing
contextual menu, near the bottom is "Open file location". Click on it and
the containing folder opens with the desired object selected (aka,
highlighted).

If you need the complete path/filename to place in some other document
(e.g., an e-mail), then, holding down the Shift Key, right-click on the
object (usually a file or folder), and in the ensuing contextual menu,
click on "Copy as path". Now the complete path/filename is in the Clipboard
ready to be pasted into wherever you need it.

BTW, I've right-clicked on several types of search results. If it's a file,
click on Properties | Details tab. The Folder path is displayed -- that is
the location of that file.

Now you're a power user  .

Season's Greetings,
Dale....

Dale, 

I really like the search option with Win 7; however, I also want to
know where a file is stored.  In the search pane, it may list all the files
- how can I find out where that particular file is residing?  Properties
doesn't help.
