Bonnie,
No I do not want any user interaction. I have a specific file MySpecialFile.dat (hardcoded filename) that I want to search for on local drives or on My Computer (local and network drives). The file might or might not exist. If it does exist I want to know what directory the file is in and if the file doesn't exist well then the user is SOL :)

Some pseudo-code:
if (SearchForFile("mYSpecialFile.dat"))
Get the directory where MySpecialFile.dat is located and do my stuff
else
Tell the user in a friendly way that he/she is SOL ;)

Hope this helps so that you can help me :)

Thanks,
Einar
