I haven't used TweakUI because I've seen warnings against it. I'm sure,
if one heeds the several warnings, it's probably OK, though.

Win+F is nice. I guess those may be Win95 &/or WinME, which I've never
seen. Win98's Advanced tab has type & size boxes only.

Oops, yea, it will go through every file. That's right. Except one wants
to be thorough, one might try "*.txt, *.ini" in the Named box to get
just those file types. Omit the quotes , but include the comma.
