string FindDirectory(std::string FindDirectoryName[2], std::string StartDirectory="C:")

    string str=StartDirectory+ "\\*";
    HANDLE search_handle = FindFirstFile(str.c_str(), &file);

    static string strFolderName ="";

    //testing if the folder is valid:
    if (search_handle != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
    {
        do
        {
            //if the folder was founded, then break the loop:
            if(strFolderName!="")
                break;

            //for avoid files names and the folders "." and "..":

                //testing if the folder was found
                //and add it on static strFolderName
                if(string(file.cFileName)==FindDirectoryName[0] && blnFindDirectoryName==false)
                {
                    if(FindDirectoryName[1]=="")
                    {
                        strFolderName = StartDirectory+ "\\" + file.cFileName;
                        break;
                    }
                    else
                        blnFindDirectoryName=true;
                }
                if(string(file.cFileName)==FindDirectoryName[1] && blnFindDirectoryName==true)
                {
                    //MessageBox(NULL, string(StartDirectory+ "\\" + file.cFileName).c_str(), "found it", MB_OK);
                    strFolderName = StartDirectory+ "\\" + file.cFileName;
                    break;
                }
                else
                {
                    //or continue searching:
                    FindDirectory(FindDirectoryName,StartDirectory + "\\" + file.cFileName);
                }
            }
        } while (FindNextFile(search_handle, &file) && search_handle!=NULL);
        //destroy the search_handle:
        FindClose(search_handle);
    }
    //return the search folder full path:
    return strFolderName;
}

but these code it's slow. is there another way for do it more faster?
it takes more 2 minutes for find it
