Ask the API to find a file

You can find files by using the ShellExecute function. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite work like I was hoping. Here is how you do it.

2 P1 \' y; q- {0 s, ~

// include SHLOBJ.H in your CPP file. #include <shlobj.h>

// Add this statement to your code. ShellExecute(Handle,"find",NULL,NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWDEFAULT);

Note: The downfall is that you can't specify what to search for. ShellExecute usually allows you to specify a filename, but you can't specify a file when you use the "find" command.
