Searching for files
If you are looking for a particular file or folder or a set of files or folders that
have characteristics in common, but you do not remember where they are
stored on your hard drive, you can use the Search utility in Windows to search
by:
■
Name or part of a name
■
Creation date
■
Modification date
■
File type
■
Text contained in the file
■
Time period in which it was created or modified
You can also combine search criteria to refine searches.
Files and folders found using these utilities can be opened, copied, cut,
renamed, or deleted directly from the list in the results window.
