I need to find out how to search for certain files (in VB6) ie.*.tmp on the hard disk and display where they live and there total size and later on possible delete them. If any one has any suggestions to get me started it would be greatly appreciated.

There are several possibilities that you could use for searching.

1. Dir Function
2. FSO(File System Object)
3. File List Box
4. FindFirstFile, FindNextFile API

How you want to display the files found has even more possibilities.

Good Luck
