if you're on vista, 7 or 8, can't remember if this works on XP, i suspect it does because it works on NT3.

when you have the library folder open in explorer - just tab into the list of folders (if you're not there already) type the name of the author you're looking for - eg type 'jane' and explorer will locate and select first 'jane' - eg Jane Abernathy

if folders are LN FN, type 'aber' and Abernathy Jane will be there, now type 'row' and Rowling J.K. will be thereabouts.

BR

pretty sure that works in finder and nautilus toof
