If I open Windows Explorer and go to my Desktop (or whatever) and search (file contents, not just titles) in the top right search box for stream
I have every file returned. If I pick a file, open it in a text editor and search for stream
I get no hits.
What is special about this? I have images returned too. In there some piece of meta data I'm not seeing but Windows is?
Update:
I created an empty file and looked at it in a hex editor to confirm it is empty.
This file show sup when I search for stream
. it is 0 KB.
Update2:
I checked at home on Windows 8.1 and it happens there too.
I think this is some Windows "feature" I am not understanding.
1Yes; Windows is picking up some sort of metadata. – Ramhound – 2014-04-01T17:13:49.630
Where is this? What is it? Why does every file have it? How can I view these data? – Brad – 2014-04-01T19:41:44.277
You won't see it unless you use a hex editor – Ramhound – 2014-04-01T20:03:23.947
1@Ramhound I don't think that's the case. I opened it in a hex editor and it revealed nothing extra. See my update. – Brad – 2014-04-01T21:41:43.497
