Can I search for specific FOLDER name?
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: c:\JonesCompany\ c:\CompanyFiles\ c:\My Documents\OldCompany\ c:\Programs\Quickbooks\Company\ 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: Right click My Computer Click Search Click All files and folders (unsure at this point, but... selecting that the "type of file" = FOLDER does not work) Thanks, George |
