Default macro & folders

Hi,
I have got a list(thousands) products that I need to look up from thousand
separate folders located in a different drive e.g P/drive. For example I need
to find whether on not product items l41 or m42 are in the folders. So I need
a macro that tells me whether the product item Im looking for is in the
folders rather than manually search.
Thanks, Mac

What does a "product" look like ? Is it an Excel file or what ?

Does the filename *exactly* match the product name ?
Are the file just randomly distributed in the 1000 folders, or is there some
system ?

Hi,
Yes it does exactly match and they are randomly distributed in the 1000s
folders.
