Default Seach only for folders in Windows Explorer


My office has a shared network drive with hundreds of folders and hundreds
of thousands of subfolders. If and when someone forgets where a folder or
subfolder is located it is very time consuming to search for it. Is there a
way to search only for folders and ignore all documents?

Default Re: Seach only for folders in Windows Explorer

In Windows search for file and folders elect to use "More Advanced
Options" and set the "Type of File" to "Folder". The feature isn't part
of Office and follow up questions should be posed to the Windows group
instead.
