I will award points to the person that posts the solution that uses the LEAST NUMBER OF MOUSE CLICKS to perform the following search in any version of Windows Vista:
Search results will show all files (hidden, system, etc.) on all local drives (optical drives optional) that are over a certain size (e.g. > 1GB).
==========================

Your entry must include the following:
1. The proposed number of mouse clicks in your solution at the top of your entry
2. A numbered, detailed list and description of each step

CONTEST RULES:
1. The proposed solution should start at the desktop with no windows open.
2. The search must be performed using tools included with all versions of Vista (no third party apps).
3. Indexing must be off (or not required for your solution)
4. Keyboard shortcuts not allowed (you can post them if you know them, but they won't be eligible for points - perhaps a future contest?).
5. Entries must be posted by midnight on Friday, June 6th EST
6. Typing a batch file and double clicking it is not an acceptable solution :-)
7. Number of actual mouse clicks in your solution will be verified by me and possibly challenged at my discretion.
8. I will perform all judging and may or may not split points depending on the time the entry was posted (in the case of a tie) and the creativity of the entry (in the case of multiple ties).
9. Points will be awarded on Saturday, June 7th.
*This is not an official contest of Experts Exchange. This was my idea of simply a fun way (IMHO) to tap the knowledge of the experts and get a good answer to my question. Thanks for playing! -Dan
