Ah yes. The perrenial question that crops up every few months :)

You use FindFirst/Next to search for all the objects in a directory and
make a note of those that are themselves directories. Then you repeat
the search for all directories you noted earlier. It's a recursive
algorithm. You continue searching until you've been everywhere, you
found what you were looking for or (in the case of badly written
implementations) you run out of stack :)

Actually the simpler method is to start a new search as soon as you
find a child directory but this is dependant on the OS being able to
maintain multiple concurrent searches and is a bad idea IMO.
