Subject: Find Files by owner

Hi,

We use Quotas in our AD User shares.  In the quota entries dialogue box some of 
the entries show up as listing only the users SID (meaning the user has been 
removed).  I am pretty sure in the past that I knew of an easy way to right 
click on that entry and have a search window open up a listing of all files 
owned by that SID, from there they could be archived or removed depending on 
the circumstance.  However I am finding it difficult to figure out what I could 
possibly have done.

Doe anyone have any ideas?  I know there are certain things you can do via CMD 
line but I'd prefer the GUI.

I know what I did before was nice because it would find all files owned by that 
security principle no matter what folder they were in and I could easily drag 
and drop them to move them to some other folder after that persons account was 
removed.

Any wisdom would be of help!

Thanks
