Getting Windows to Search within .SQL files
With Windows XP the default behaviour for searching within files will ignore .SQL files.
To get around this you can add a registry setting which will force Windows to treat .SQL files as text so it can search within the file.
- Open regedit
- Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sql
- Add a new key PersistentHandler
- Set the default value for the key to {5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}
That’s it. You can do this for any other file type as well.
