In case you're still looking Google "TFileFind" for a number of
alternatives. "Delphi Find File" works well too.

This is quite a popular example for recursion as well - I found that
rolling your own was a great recursion lesson that I'm not likely to
forget soon. Mind you it took me a couple of days and several posts to
these NGs to finally get it right.

I know it's not what was asked for but I think you'll be surprised by
how little Delphi code is actually required to get the information that
you're looking for, have a look at:
http://delphi.about.com/od/vclwriteenhance/l/aa051600a.htm or
http://www.festra.com/eng/snip04.htm

Google: "Delphi recursion find file" or "Delphi recursive find file"
for a lot more.
