if you want a file find program, why not try quick find. hell, as a 
u of w person, you should be supporting fellow u of w students who write
great :-) shareware!!!! The things you mention as faults in file find do
not exist in quick find. quick find will let you choose any drive/partition,
and let you enter the search MASK (? and * are accepted). plus the latest
version (1.5) has extra features that let you do manipulations on groups
of matched files, such as touching, deleting, write protecting, hiding, etc.
