I have a filename i want to find its location on the harddisk. Is there any Shell API or WIndows API call which can find the location of file?

One solution is to run through all the directories and use the function :

MyFilename=Dir(MyFilename)

If the file is in that directory it will return the filename in the string MyFilename
