How 2 open a specific "Find Files" window using the keyboard

[plagoon]

(continuation of thread616-1026985 and thread616-1242759, for Win2k's "Find: Files and folders" window)

I've been trying to figure out how to get to a SPECIFIC OPEN "Search Results" window (windows explorer window) using the keyboard (NOT the mouse) in Win2k and WinXP.

I'd like to do it directly from Windows.

In previous threads I described how to do it in WordPerfect in Win2k, but I've moved on to MS Word in WinXP.

Here's how to do it IF there's only one "Search Results" window open in WordXP/2003 using VB6:

Sub z_OsSwitch2WinExplorer()
vcount = 0: v2 = 0
For Each v1 In Tasks
If v1.Name = "Search Results" Then vcount = vcount + 1
Next v1
If vcount = 1 Then Tasks("Search Results").Activate _
Else: Beep: MsgBox "No unique 'Search Results' window found!": Tasks("Search Results").Activate
End Sub

I don't know how to do it directly from Windows, maybe there's a way using Wscript?
