for example, i have 50 folders and nine of them have a file with an exe extension. how do i search for the folders who contain the exe file inside them?

i could find the inf files one by one, but i gotta work with 59 driver files and that aint fun.

is there a way to just search for folders that contain .inf files in them?
Explain alittle better what your trying to do, are you just updating your drivers. If so why are you looking at the inf. files one at a time?
