Why not just do it in explorer? Or did you need to have one of your
functions do something on these files?

Not sure if there's a better way in VB.net but you COULD have a function
execute the dos level command "Find" and have it send it's output to a text
file. Then it's a simple matter of parsing the text file to get a list of
files that meet your requirements.

Code for file enumeration:

Have a look at the classes in the 'System.IO' namespace, namely
'BinaryReader' and 'StreamReader' to read the contents of the files.
