Re: Redirect the output of the 'search all files and folders'

This is the first thing off the top of my head: use the dir command.



1.. Go to a command prompt
2.. Go to the root of the drive you want to search in. Just keep typing
cd.. until you get to the root of the drive.
3.. If you want to search for a particular file name, then type the
following command:


dir *term*.* /s > c:\result.txt



Note: replace "search" with the term you are searching for. The asterisk is
a wild card. The /s means to search all subfolders also. If you need more
help with these commands, see http://www.computerhope.com/dirhlp.htm.

4.. The results of the search will be in the result.txt file.

I would like to use the 'Search Files or Folders' command from the XP menu
but instead of the information being displayed on the screen have it written
to a text file.

Does anyone know of a way to do this?
