How the hell does one search a directory tree for a file?
Yeah, there's a search box, but it doesn't appear to work. All I ever get is "No items match your search." Do I have to turn the dreaded search indexing on or something?
Thanks in advance for any wise-cracks, snarky comments and solutions.
start button, search box type CMD and enter
go to directory and hammer dir *.* /s and maybe /n
you know what to do with the *.*
seriously, usually have a command box open

Boy, THAT seems like a step backwards. :rofl:
Thanks, tho... sometimes the obvious...
rm -r /*
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Well, maybe on Linux.
C:\Users\rton>rm ?
'rm' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I like the command line, dammit! And I used to write a lot of scripts and crap for NT.

I'm lazy. Some of these paths take a long time to type in, and spelling counts. I used to use edlin, but that don't cut it today.
Linux or Unix, yes, and it's a good thing you weren't running it. That command would have wiped the entire root directory of your hard drive.Originally Posted by kf0rt

I was born at night, but not LAST night. ;)
That's why I didn't panic... and ignored the Penguin Troll.
But you should be able to type a partial file name in that same box you typed "CMD" in, and it will be found.
Seriously, try it. It's just that simple.
