The command you want is find-grep-dired. This searches all files in a directory (recursively) for a phrase contained inside the file, aka Search in Files. In Emacs running on windows, typing M-x find-grep-dired gives an error, and the Emacs FAQ isn’t very helpful. After fiddling with Emacs, I finally got it to work by setting the right windows variables. <!--break-->
Download CoreUtils and FindUtils from GnuWin32. Install the packages in the default location. Add the default location, c:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin, to the windows variable PATH. IMPORTANT: The trick is that this directory needs to go BEFORE the windows system directories. See this useful guide on how to change variables in windows. My PATH setting looks something like this: C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin; C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS; C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;
Reboot your computer.
This works on my WinXP box. The downside is that it replaces the windows version of the find command with the GNU version. Any windows programs that use this command will fail! However, I haven’t encountered any programs that use this command. (I use my computer in a very “light” way — internet, email, and word rocessing.) Your mileage will vary.

I just found this awesome lightweight mp3 player for windows: Billy. Probably the best mp3 player I’ve used in a long time. It even has keyboard shortcuts, yet with a super small memory footprint.
Download it, install it, and give the author some dough. Share the love.
Features: <!--break-->
Easily add files and directories to a playlist. (Hello, Foobar, this is Billy talking to you.) Delete files on the hard drive right from the playlist. (I love this feature because I like to sample music and delete what I don’t like.) Global keyboard shortcuts. (Think WIN + F12 to go to the next song or whatever keyboard shortcut you want.) Minimizes to the system tray. Plays internet streams.
Uber-lightweight memory footprint.
What more do you want? (Well, for me at least, that’s all I want. I just want my music player to do what it’s supposed to do — play music — no album art, no fancy equalizers, no on-screen displays. Just play the damn music!)
