This is a continuation of the archived thread616-1026985:
"Hi, I'm stumped: I've been trying to figure out how to get to a SPECIFIC OPEN "Find: Files and folders" window using the keyboard (NOT the mouse) in Win2k and WinXP. "

I FINALLY found it: use Wordperfect Office (2002 version, Win2k):

Get the handle for the window once while running WordPerfect:

PERSIST vpMainXP := AppLocate("Search Results")

Then until you close WordPerfect, this will bring you to the required window:

AppActivate(vpMainXP) Hooray!
 
Have you tried the following from the command prompt?
Code:
dir /s filename
