Search for a directory

Post by *tcebob »

My computer has a lot of directories and subdirectories. Sad to report, I do not have the tree memorized. How can I locate directories \xyz? Find Files doesn't seem to do it.

Plz use search function ALT+F7 with "Advanced" tab and Attribute "Directory".

The default TreeFileLocation is the root folder of the drive.
Starting with Vista, Windows does not allow to create files in the root of the system drive (e.g. C:\)
If you use TC 7.56a you can edit/add TreeFileLocation in your wincmd.ini, or you can use the actual TC8.0 beta:
Alt+F10 tree: If TreeFileLocation isn't set, save the tree in the same location as the thumbnail cache on system drive and UNC paths
