Search only for a specifically named folder?

Post by portyforty2017 »

How? to search the computer for folders named only GAMES or Games

Without getting results like these...

C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-s..l-inboxgames-hearts_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_4ffeefd67d89d45b

wholefilename:folder:Games


wholefilename: = match the whole filename.
folder: = match folders only.

Void: Thanks. Excellent advice, as always ;)

EDIT: The command collected the single-name folders, once the left column was sorted alphabetically, but still included other 'games' entries as part of a long string. Have I used the command correctly? (This resulted after either 'Folder' or 'Everything' were selected in the mode box)

folder: games

BTW: I made a screen grab but couldn't paste it. Where do you suggest that pics should be uploaded?
