Is there a way to create a "Smart folder" on Vista & XP? (similar to the functionality available on Mac)

Looks like there are some predefined "Search folders" on Vista. Is there a way to specify my own search criterion and create a custom 'Search folder'?

While not exactly smart folders like Mac OS X means it, you can save searches easily in Windows XP & Vista.

Search for a string, and then go to File > Save search (I'm using Windows XP). It will then save the search wherever you want and you can use that at a later time.

Get windows 7. That's one of the new features I believe.

why not 'Buy a Mac!' ? – Molly7244 Aug 29 '09 at 15:46

W7 would run on the same hardware (while following the EULA) and be cheaper than getting a Mac. – Dan Walker Aug 29 '09 at 16:47
