F3 to Open Windows Explorer Search Box

I confess to feeling uneasy about this.

From the desktop it works just fine.

From within Windows Explorer it works fine.

Try it first in "clean" mode to get the hang of it:-

Use Win+D to minimize or close every window (I know, I know, " Never Close, Never Minimize "), then on the naked desktop tap the F3 function key.

See?
