how to launch "search find files or folders" from command line

[coltrane]

How can I launch the find files applet from the command line. Actually
I would like to create a short cut and also add it to an applications
"tools" menu.

thanks for the help

You could run a suitable search manually, save the search, and create a
shortcut to it. You can run a saved search from the command line with the
start command, perhaps something like:

start "" "C:\Path to\Saved Search.fnd"
