When you search for files or folders using windows search it allows you to save the search, so it create like a shortcut on your desktop that when clicked on repeats the same search....almost.

It brings up the window with the search options, but you have to click "Search" for it to begin.

Anyone know a way of forcing the search to begin?
 
I guess nobody does, so let me explain what I am trying to do:

I have a folder called c:\recordings\

In this folder are subfolders for each region our office has branches in, e.g. c:\reocrdings\Midlands\

Then within that folder we create a new folder for the days the recordings were made e.g. c:\recordings\midlands\11.09.06\

No my boss wants to be able to view all the midlands recordings, but not have them in their date folders, so I thought if I can run a search on the midlands folder and all subfolders for *.wav is the easiest way, which works, but my boss isnt that computer literate and wont find his way round the searching thing, so was hopeing I could just save the search, he would click the shortcut and be shown all the results.

Anyone know a way of doing this with windows search or another way?
