Hey Bob,

That's totally bizarre if this machine has a new system on it. Of course, Sherlock is too brain dead to look for a System file on my laptop so I could copy it.
Spotlight you mean? It is definitely less useful than it should be, but:
Try searching your HD for:
filename:"System Events.app"
Using the 'filename' specifier will get past the no system files Spotlight filter.
Or run this script:
set sysEvents to "" & (path to library folder from system domain) & "CoreServices:System Events.app:" tell application "Finder" activate reveal sysEvents end tell
Or use EasyFind - a very useful and free find utility every Mac user should have.
-- Best Regards, Chris
