starting with Windows XP, the Search Companion in the operating system,
as supplied by Microsoft, will no longer search files with certain extensions,

Any other file extensions that are being skipped can be fixed in the same way simply
by replacing both instances of .java with the extension to be fixed.
Double click on the file name to run it and update the registry,
or else execute it using the regedit command:
