Searches your hard drive for all files specified and generates an HTML web page list of the files found and links to the file itself. This search is fast and very little code to complete the task...

CSS and extensibility. To make this recipe more extensible, it would be a good idea to have seperate functions for things like walking the directories, making the table, and inserting this into the rest of the HTML.
It would also be a good idea to have the table generating code put in CSS (like 'class="fileTable"') instead of hard-coded values (which are depricated anyway), and then if the thing gets extended users can have more control over appearance.
My version. Actually, this recipe looks worse the more I look at it. It so offended my sense of aesthetics that I made my own version, at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/200131
Alright, but who needs or would use something like this anyway? It's just an example of file searching on Windoze not a realistic application so people can have an html page of local files - who cares to have that?
