help in search for a file...

hai...

i need to search my machine for a particular file and as a result get the path of that particular file...

tere is a recursive function for this.but the problem with this code is that it just searches a single folder and not all the folders of the drive. my code is

public String findFile(File f, String target)

{

if (f.getName().equals(target))

{

return f.getPath();

}

File[] list = f.listFiles();

for (short i = 0; i < list.length; i++)

{

if (list[i].isDirectory())

{

return findFile(list[i], target);

}

else

if (list[i].getName().equals(target))

return list[i].getPath();

}

return" Not found";

}

in this target is the file to be searched and the other parameter is the drive where the file is to searched...

plz help me...
