Well, it works fine for me, see the screen shots below before and after I typed in a search argument.

Did you open Tools, Options, Volumes and actually have it index the volume you're trying to search? That is a necessary step!

If you mean the "Windows" key, that is the key that is on all recent (at least the last 5 years) PC keyboards. It is the one with either the "Flag" or Windows logo or (on some keyboards) the text "Start" printed on it.

It requires NTFS on the disk, since they actually use the NTFS file structure to avoid having to index the whole disk, very slick and very fast.
Thanks for mentioning everything, JohnWill. It's great - really fast and seems to be thorough. Appreciate the tip.

In AHK, I record scripts with the recording tool included, then save them as an ahk file, then convert them to exe with the conversion tool also included in the AutoHotKey install.

I'd say it's on most PC keyboards for about the last 15 years. There are some that don't have it, though. My Thinkpad T43 has no windows key, and I believe that Lenovo/IBM have for some reason omitted it right up to today's models.

No problem. You might want to go to their forum and find the new alpha, it fixes a couple of issues I ran across, specifically when my machine was sleeping.
