Seems to me that you have what you need built into W2k.
In Windows Explorer, using Search, select *.txt as your search ("find")
argument, and select any directory ("folder") or even an entire hard
drive you wish to search, and a list of all such files therein will appear.
Doubleclick on any found file, and if ".txt" files are associated with
Notepad, notepad will appear with that file opened. If you have
associated such files with some other program, that other program will
appear with that file opened.
Start|Help will further explain the above Search and Associate functions.
