Strangest thing happened to me today! I'm working on a project with VC 2005 (yeah! pretty old version for 2012, I know!)

I use the Search in files which usually works great but today I got this strange error:

No files were found to look in. Find was stopped in progress.

And no real reason why it would say that!?

Searched on the Internet and found a page mentioning the problem.

When searching it is possible to stop the process with Ctrl-C or Break or, it seems, Ctrl-Scroll Lock.

In my case my bag was a bit on the keyboard pressing on one or more of those keys! Moving my bag was enough. My setup was such that I pushed that keyboard and ended up with my bag on top of those keys!

Wow!
