Hi, I am having 120GB hardisk (14 Drives) in my PC with 1GB RAM, I used
recurssion method to search the files in all the drives which takes
nearly 15-20 minutes!! I use..
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") and I compiled with fast
code, Please let me know if there is any other faster methods to do the
system search.
Thank you

Hey. An easy one. Drop the FSO and never, never go there again.

Use 'native' VB file handling routines instead. As for examples and urls,
just goggle this newsgroup, as the subject comes up at least twice a month.

Use the FindFirstFile and FindNextFile APIs.
