Calling Windows Explorer search from VBScript

[Marco A. Cruz Quevedo]

Hi everybody,

Is there a simple way to call windows explorer search from a VBScript script?

I know that a script to search a file can be done, but I was think about a way to call the windows explorer search windows from a vbscript program.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Marco

I don't think so. On the other hand, who needs
Windows search when you have script? Why not
just look for the file with that using FileSystemObject
methods?

There's also a VBS group if you want to pursue
this further:

microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript

Thank you for your response, but after I made the script to search files, I was just wondering if there is a way to simply call the search capabilities inside windows explorer to perform the same tasks. It would be interesting, wouldn't it?

I suppose so, since FSO is fairly slow. But XP
search also isn't very good. I've used Agent
Ransack ever since I switched to XP, after I
found that XP Find couldn't even look into a
CAB file, while Win9x Find could.
