I've sorted my C:drive to have a number of subfolders and nested subfolders.
Using the Search function I can see a file in a subfolder, but how do I find
the path to this sub folder?

It should be as simle as right click on the folder>properties.  The path
usually shows up there.

Thanks Cynthia,
Using Advanced Find, I can see the file and the folder, but my right click
does not have a Properties option, can you step me through how you did it
again

How is this an Outloook question?  Outlook folders are not file system
objects.

Hi Brian,
I'm trying to find a subfolder I created in a Personal Folder on my C:drive.
When I use the message search function I can see files in the "In Folder" but
can't see the Outlook path to the "In Folder".

That's because it's contained within the one pst file - there IS no separate
folder as such.

Thanks Gordon,
Got it!
don't try and search in nested subfolders.

One of the Outlook MVPs posted code that searched subfolders and display
names, but I can't locate it.  http://www.outlookcode.com/ would be a good
place to search.
