This is on Windows-7.

I need to find all folders with specific files in them and list them preferably in Explorer. Is it at all possible, I seem to have hard time figuring this. This probably can be done from cmd or powershell, but I would prefer to have it done from within Explorer.

The search criteria is simply "all folders containing files with extension .ini".

You might be able to solve your problem using PowerShell. I am not home at the moment and have no access to PowerShell, so I can check this solution inspired by this page at a later time only.

dir -recurse | ?{$_.name -match “^*.ini$”} | sort name | ft directory

I can check up on the correctness of the answer later.
