To search for a file:

@echo off
dir /s /a-d c:\Ekka*.*

For a folder:
dir /s /ad c:\Ekka*.*

For both:

dir /s c:\Ekka*.*

Pegasus thats great thanks. Can you also do this as a registry export (not
using regedit.exe)? In other words search for and then export the information.

No. To search the registry you must use regedit.exe or a
similar tool.
