How may I capture, to a text file, the results of a File
Search in Windows 2000 (Start->Search->For Files or
Folders)>

I need the results in an e-mail
 
Say you want to search for file(s) that contains the word "scan" in it w/o the quotes and you want to put the results in a e-mail. Go to Start | Run | cmd | OK. Then at the C:\ prompt (you may need to do cd\ first) type "dir /s *scan* > scan.txt" w/o the quotes. Then on your root when this finishes you will have a text file called scan.txt with all that was found. I assume you can get this in a e-mail now.
