Searching all but one folder

I often need to search a large network drive for a filename (or part of) and
it would speed up greatly if I could NOT search one particularly large
directory that is used for day to day stuff. The directory I don't want to
search is system generated and cannot be moved.

Anyone know whether I can exclude a directory in the standard xp file
search, or is there a freebie that will do it. Bear in mind it is on a
network drive.

Thanks for any help.

Regards.
Bill.

Use Agent Ransack and choose ALL the folders you want to search.
