Default Checking for the Existence of a Folder

I need to check the folder "c:\program files\microsoft
office" to see if a folder that is inside this folder is
named office or office10 (or office something depending
on the version of office that is installed on a PC) and
run code based on the name of the folder. I have been
attempting to use the dir function as follows: zx=dir
("c:\program files\microsoft office\office*") but this
only returns a zero string, even though a folder
beginining with the work office is in there. What code
would I need to use to check for the existence of a
folder whose name always contains office but could
contain other characters as well? Thanks!
