Locate32 can. Just use the "advanced" tab and check "File Containing Text" Be sure to right click a folder containing the php code and launch Locate32 from there. You DON'T want to search inside every file on your hard drive for a text string, that would be... bad... Now Locate32 will just tell you which files contain the text, for more advanced capabilities:
I use UltraEdit as my text editor (for general purpose editing, but especially for coding). It has really advanced text searching, including "Search Within Files". The benefit is that you are probably editing code anyway, and having the Search Within Files capability right in your text editor is very handy. It displays the files with the found text in a panel at the bottom, with the LINE NUMBER of the line the text was found on. You just click on this, and it opens the file in a tab in the editor AND jumps straight to the line.
You can even do a "Seach and Replace" using "Within Files" as the target, so you can replace "Version 2.0" with "Version 2.1" in 100 php files with one click.
Get it from me here:

Awesome! I'm almost ashamed to admint that I use Notepad/Wordpad for all my html/php editing. 
I tried Ultraedit and and got frustrated quickly. I think I'l lforce myself to learn it.

Doesn't Dreamweaver have some sort of function like that in it as well? I have always used that program for all my html creations etc.. I know its more robust for what my uses of it are.

It probably does. I have used dreamweaver to do a lot of the web work for our servers, but I only use it for "prototyping" screen layouts. Most of the actual coding is in php and MySQL, and I (like Freak) prefer to hand write code in a decent text editor. Dreamweaver is a bit bloated if you are a hand coder...

Like most tools, it has things you may never use. The trick with UltraEdit for me is to turn off all the extra crap on the screen, so I am left with a very straight forward text editor. All the fancy stuff is still there under the menus, and you will find that over time you will begin to use them to solve particular problems. (like finding that missing curly brace with a built in function that "matches" braces and shows you in two seconds where the missing brace is in 1000 lines of code.)
If you use the "view" menu, you can turn off the extra toolbars, remove the "file explorer" frame on the left, get rid of line numbers, in short get the interface down to a nice clean text editor that just happens to color code your php / html for you, and opens multiple files in nice tabs across the top.
I don't know how you work, but one of the GREAT features of UltraEdit it the ability to directly edit via FTP. You set up your host and password and such in it, and you can open a file on the remote server, edit it locally (it downloads a copy into memory) and when you save it the file is replaced on the host server. All this happens completely transparently, so it feels like you are working on files on your local pc.

 Two things I change in preferences right away are:
1) It automatically loads (or tries to load) the last file you were editing when you launch UltraEdit. I hate this, and have it set to create a new blank document when I launch it stand alone (rather than right clicking a file and saying "Edit with Ultraedit).
2) It saves a copy of files you edit with the .bak extension by default. You may like this, I don't. I hate having .bak files littered around. You can turn this off too.

MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
This is one of the newer entries in the AdAware, SpyBot Search and Destroy genre of programs to scan for and protect your computer from adware and malware on the internet. It is very highly rated for a newcomer, and I have found it to be very effective.

RealVNC is the best... I use it on all my machines here at home... With computers on 3 floors in this house, it saves me a lot of stair climbing...

Folder Guide
This is similar to the DirectFolder app I posted about earlier. I allows you to set up any number of "favorite" folders and you can then jump to them with one click by just right clicking anywhere (in an app or on the desktop) and there are your favorites. Really nice for jumping to those folders buried 3 or 4 levels deep that you use all the time.

Something |MF|Morgoth posted in another thread is Shields-Up ( http://www.grc.com )
It pretty good for testing your firewall setups... I tried it on my system, and other than when I requested a page from them, I was invisible... They could see the IP for my router, but nothing behind it... I also checked it on my wife's computer, and my step-daughters with the same results... Her laptop, on the other hand, is a different story... Seems one of my neighbors has a wireless network set up in thier home... Shields-Up was throwing up red flags as soon as I had her log onto that sight... Of course, she also has windows firewall, norton and avast all diabled, because she "doesn't want to deal with the pop-ups"... Good thing her laptop is NOT my problem...

http://www.proxyblind.org/proxy-anonymous-checker.shtml |
Normally your router's IP is your "true" IP. You have one IP address assigned by your ISP (either dynamic or static) seen by the outside world (in my case 72.196.200.106) and this is going to be your router connected to your modem (cable or DSL).
Then your router sets up a private network which is only seen from the router "backwards" to devices on your network. So your router is 192.168.1.1 (that's what Linksys uses anyway) and your devices are 192.168.1.xxx assigned by the router. The router takes care of "routing" all the traffic coming into the network on 72.196.200.106 (in my case) to the correct computers in your network.

Another thing to note Morgoth, if these online tests are showing your computer's IP (192.168.1.xxx is the default for most routers), then you really need to check into your router config... These sites (and the rest of the world) should see nothing but the IP given to you by your ISP (98.223.49.207 in my case)... This address can be seen by anyone and any site on the internet... The router/firewall is just there to hide everything else (computers, printers, xbox, etc)...

Thats the one I meant.. the network one. Most cable companies use a dynamic address. So you are stuck with the same network IP unless you ask them to change it... and then they ask you why!
