Hello!

My English is not very well, I hope you can understand what I mean!

I want to write a program, that should find the games from Microsoft (like: freecell(freecell.exe), solitaire(sol.exe)...) and give me the path, where it is.

I tried to do it with fixed path, but now I want a programm, that search in all drives and directories.

I searched in old threads, but there were nothing, that really helped me.

thanks a lot

Look up the Dir function is VB, you will want to put that in a function that gets called recursively until the search exe is found.

thanks for the fast reply.
But it doesn't work. DIR function only search files in the directory where the program is.

helpme oncemore!!!
thanks

Not if you specify the directory. The hard part here is to make the procedure recursive, so that it keeps searching underlying folders untill there are none left. There is a clear explanation of this in the tutors corner by BillSoo.
