Can not one multiple files with same name in different folders?
Do you want to do a complete system search to find out all the files with the name supplied? Is this your requirement?

The best you can do is recursively search for such a file. Then you are going to deal with (possibly) multiple results. See for instance this Stack Overflow question: "Recursive file search using C++ MFC?"[^].
