Does this tool exist?

I have to use Windows XP as my desktop environment. I don't have the luxury of having all of my source code organized into a Visual Studio solution. Many of the source code directories have hundreds of files. I find myself clicking on files in explorer quite a bit but many of these directories have hundreds of files. Scrolling down to find a file or group of files is a pain. I can press a character and explorer will find the first file that begins with that character but I wish I could just keep typing and find the file I'm looking for. Windows search is too cumbersome. Does anyone have a suggestion for a tool that would do something similar to this?

I think the suggestion was to use the e-mail widget and send him his e-mail address, not to publish it here. :)

E-Mail widget? Have I gone blind? Please Luc, tell me where that is already. Yes of course what says email better than "email". Somehow I've always seemed to ignore that link! My bad! Think I'd better go to bed now. :)

Will visual studio express edition (freely available) not do? :~

Um, I just tried typing a filename into the address bar (after a backslash, of course), and it does the trick very nicely.

The fact that this project involves other programmers doesn't necessarily prevent you from creating a Visual Studio project and/or solution to manage it.
