I'm familiar with the fact that you wrote PC-Sweep Shane. Don't you remember that we used to interact back on Compuserve? PC-Sweep was 16 bit code. Some are a bit shy with Win32 code for some reason. Just in case that applied to you, I offered. > ...LARGE drives with THOUSANDS of files... FYI: I have 30G which is now considered a small drive and I have thousands of files. Even with that and with the FAT32 that I use (slower for searches than the journaled NTFS), it doesn't take long. It would probably be perceived as even less time if the search were spun off into another thread while the program does other housekeeping and screen manipulation. .
