On a computer with Windows 8, how can I find all files with a specific extension within a drive or network location?
For example, how can I find all *.docx files on my hard drive?

You can use this Powershell command:
Get-ChildItem -Path c:\ *.docx -Recurse

Sorry for my wrong answer that I posted earlier. Network location is a totally different story. Cannot really help there. Locally just use the search box in the Explorer Window. – Apache – 2013-11-27T00:58:19.013
Here's a similar question but not restricted to Win 8: http://superuser.com/questions/25092/searching-through-txt-pdf-and-doc-files
