acantor Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 // Perform steps to search the computer. For example... Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <CONTROL><ESC> // Call up the Start menu. The search box has keyboard focus // Paste the contents of the clipboard in the Search box. The search begins immediately Clipboard Paste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 You can do this using MEP's file and folder commands. Iteratively search down though all folders. Why don't you just search from the command prompt using the Directory command? It's super simple. from the root of the drive E.G."C:\" type "dir myfile.doc /s". The "s" switch searches subdirectories. Run it as an administrator in order to see files in sensitive areas. You can direct the output to a file if you like also. You could also use the External Script facility in MEP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
