Ok guys dont worry I have worked it out.

If this helps anyone else im posting it

refer to full code at top of this thread

$a = _FileSearch(@UserProfileDir & "\favorites\*.url",1)

If $a[0] > 0 Then

For $i = 1 to $a[0]

$STR = StringSplit($a[$i], "\")

$a[$i] = StringTrimRight($a[$i], StringLen($STR[$STR[0]]))

ProgressOff()

$answer = MsgBox(262148,"Backup", "Backup has found Microsoft Internet Explorer bookmarks (favorties) in the current Windows logon, would you like to add these to the backup?")

if $answer = 6 Then

_ArrayAdd ( $folders, $a[$i] )

GUICtrlSetData($mylist, $a[$i])

Endif

If $a[0] = 160 Then Exitloop ; THIS LINE HALTS IT ON THE FIRST ONE FOUND

Next

ProgressOn("Searching for Internet favorties/bookmarks", "One moment please", "0 percent")

ProgressSet( 95, 95 & " percent")

EndIf

WOW! Thanks, thats it, job done.It scans all folders under the folder you tell it, then stops when it finds a file that matches the criteria. Thanks CB!!

Works better tho if you just replace If $a[0] = 160 Then Exitloop ; THIS LINE HALTS IT ON THE FIRST ONE FOUND

with a simple Exitloop

Perfect

Thank you to everybody!
