martin Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 (edited) How can I search a whole drive for a filetype as opposed to just the folder?You need to change to whatever folder you find while you're searching. To search the whole drive means you could get into maximum recursion problems. Search for FileFindNext and posts by SmoKe_N, I'm fairly sure he's written a script which doesn't use recursion and so avoids that problem.
