I was wondering how you would sweep the whole system for a file without having to mess with the path. (if any of this is possible, of course.)This will scan all NTFS partitions on your system for file.ext:

Code: [Select]@echo off
for /f "tokens=3" %%A in ('echo list volume ^| diskpart ^| find "NTFS"') do (
dir %%A:\file.ext /s /b

FBSo what would a NTFS partition be?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS NT file system. It's the file system used by NT based systems. NT based systems will also support FAT file systems but i was assuming you don't use them.

that is sounds intersting. but does the command work in winxp ? I tried it but there was no thing listed. I'm not sure if this will work because, I want the user to be able to input the file he WISHES to find, and then if the file does exist he has 3 options with it. To remove it, leave it, or rename it.PUT in another for loop with the OUTPUT from the dir command.
