I often need to search a large network drive for a filename (or part of) and

it would speed up greatly if I could NOT search one particularly large

directory that is used for day to day stuff. The directory I don't want to

search is system generated and cannot be moved.



Anyone know whether I can exclude a directory in the standard xp file

search, or is there a freebie that will do it. Bear in mind it is on a

network drive.



Thanks for any help.



Regards.

Bill.
 
Use Agent Ransack and choose ALL the folders you want to search.
