    Anybody know where to find the System folder for Search Results (Windows)?

    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if there was a way to interact (by VBA, of course) with a "search results" folder....but I'm not sure exactly how it works to begin with ...like if it's a newly created folder each time a search is ran or if it's always one specific folder and if the files/folders within that folder are like pointers or whatever.

    How does this work exactly? Or does anyone have any resourses to point me to?

    TIA

    Yes. Set a reference to "Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation"
    Browse the various classes. Especially these three:
    Shell
    ISearchCommandExt
    SearchCommand

    but I'm not sure exactly how it works to begin with ...like if it's a newly created folder each time a search is ran or if it's always one specific folder and if the files/folders within that folder are like pointers or whatever.
    It appears that this is a simple listview with icons. I have installed MS Desktop Search or I would try an provide you with an example...
