I need the ability to search an entire drive for a specific file 'archeadr.dbf' and it needs to function on Win95, Win98, Win2k, and WinXP without having to install WSH or anything else.

This is David Frankenbach's sample code from an article he wrote in a wiki. It ought to get you where you want to go.

ltStart = datetime()

create cursor tempfiles ( cFilename c(80), nSize n(10), dMod d )

RecurseFolder( "c:\" )
? datetime() - ltStart

index on nSize tag nSize

browse nowait

function RecurseFolder( lcDir )
local i,n, laFiles[1]

?? "."
n = adir( laFiles, lcDir + "*.*", "shd" )

for i = 1 to n
   if ( left( laFiles[i,1], 1 ) != '.' )
      if ( "D" $ laFiles[i,5] )
         RecurseFolder( lcDir + laFiles[i,1] + "\" )
      else
        insert into tempfiles ;
               values( lcDir + laFiles[i,1], laFiles[i,2], laFiles[i,3] )
      endif
   endif
