Here’s a quick way to find files on your windows machine using the command line, instead of the built in search functionality.

  1. Drop to a command line.
  2. CD your way to the folder you want to search.
  3. Type “dir /S *your file name here*
  4. Hit enter.

So if you wanted to find that hot track on your mp3 drive but don’t know where it’s located, you could do something like this : “dir /S *humps*.mp3″
