A couple of solutions come to mind, but one requires you have a particular application installed.
1) The easiest, most workable method comes with a big IF... IF you happen to be an Ultra Edit text editor user, you can "search within files" specifing only to search inside of *.WOR files and to search for just the table you're looking for. Set the output to an editable window and you will have a real working list you could copy, paste. The useful results can allow a mulitude of possibilites. 2) You could use the Windows search mechanism, or at least you once could. By searching for all instances of *.tab within the files of a specific directory. I don't think you could just search within specific files. 3) I seem to recall, there may be some function you could right into the Mapbasic Window within Mapinfo, one that would list all the workspaces where your table is found.
