In Winxp, is there a way to find folders quickly? A faster way that the rather clunky Search option?

Yeah, you can do a full Index of your computer.. then everything would come up really fast.. but as data is added, you'll need to reindex everything.

Or you can just search for Folders.. which really doesn't take that long.. avoid searching for unnecessary things like Files. You get the option under More Search Options or Advanced.
