Hello and my first question

[Magpie]

Firstly I would like to say greetings to you all as a new member and ask this question.
Q. When I use the search/find file program it always needs to be connected to the internet to be able to run. This seems very strange and I was hoping someone here could tell me if this is 'normal' or just another M$ feature. Regards to you all.

Search trys to connect when you open the program BUT you dont have to let it a good firewall such as sygate pro will let you block it (shows as windows explorer) the search function still works fine
