"Searching" for an answer
I am trying to make a program that will search the computer and any storage devices plugged into for specific files, like .txt or .mp3.
First what would be the best code to use, and where would be a good place to learn more about this type of program?
Thanks.
Well to start with, which OS and compiler are you using?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I am in windows, and using Microsoft visual studio 2008, and i should have said what language would be best instead of code, I'v really only worked with C++. I am not afraid to try others though.

Start with a list of drive / devices
win32 enumerate drives - Google Search
Your choice of language doesn't really matter.
It's the APIs provided by your OS which matter.
