Default Can I search for specific FOLDER name?


"George" wrote in message =
...
Can anyone offer a definitive answer on this. Am using WinXP-pro. Is =

there
a way to search for FOLDERs that have a specific name. For instance, =

find
all folders that have COMPANY as part of their name so it would bring =

back
something like this:
=20
c:\JonesCompany\
c:\CompanyFiles\
c:\My Documents\OldCompany\
c:\Programs\Quickbooks\Company\
=20
It's not files that I want...everybody knows how to search FILEs for
specific names (like *.doc, 19??.xls, etc.), but how do you search =

only
FOLDER names? Here's what I did so far, but nothing seems to isolate
FOLDERs:
=20
Right click My Computer
Click Search
Click All files and folders
(unsure at this point, but... selecting that the "type of file" =3D =

FOLDER
does not work)


Simply open "Search" and type the word(s) you want and search. I did it, =
and folders with a specific name showed up in the search.
