I read the list in digest form - sorry my response won't be threaded in
properly!

How about this for your question, Idris? Pure DOS batch file stuff. I tested
it with notepad instead of Acrobat, but I assume it should be close to
working as shown here.


@ echo off

IF "%1"=="" GOTO NOARG

for /R C:\context %%n IN (.) DO IF EXIST %%n\%1 (
Echo Found %%n\%1
start Acrobat.lnk %%n\%1
GOTO END
)

:NOTFOUND
echo Couldn't find %1
GOTO END

:NOARG
echo Specify a file name to find

:END
