Search partial file name

Where is the setting on Vista which lets you change your search settings, so
that you can search only part of the file name, and the file will come up.
Someone changed it on my dad's computer, and I have been looking for about an
hour, and I still can't find it.

Control Panel -> "Folder Options" -> "Search" -> "Find Partial Matches".

Or you can get there from an explorer windows "Organize" -> "Folder & Search
Options"
