Yes Sam, that is exactly what Gil Parrish said.  You can only search in one 
directory and its subdirectories at a time with dir (or Xdir) <filename.ext> 
/s.  If you wanted to search all of your directories/drives, you would have 
to repeat the command on each drive.

Whereis.com, and I'm sure there are other programs, can search across all of 
the directories, subdirectories *and* logical drives without having to 
re-enter the command.
