A suggestion - use (free) Everything from www.voidtools.com - it will 
instantly locate any file anywhere on your file system. As you can in 
normal explorer you can right-click and get access to full explorer 
context menu. Note: the "beta" version on voidtools.com is (IMO) 
rock-solid and adds instant sorting (by column click) on any date column 
- sometimes very useful.
