Using advanced search options
Search can find files meeting more criteria than file name. You can narrow your search by selecting
the search options that you want. You can search by the:
•
Date the file was created or modified.
•
Size of the file.
•
Type of file, such as a program or a text document.
Browsing for files and folders
A file or folder that you need is rarely right on top of your Windows desktop. It is usually on a
drive inside a folder that may be inside yet another folder, and so on.
Windows drives, folders, and files are organized in the same way as a real file cabinet in that they
may have many levels (usually many more levels than a file cabinet, in fact). So you usually will
have to search through levels of folders to find the file or folder that you need. This is called
browsing
.
To browse for a file:
1
Click
Start
, then click
My Computer
. The
My Computer
window opens.
2
Double-click the drive or folder that you think contains the file or folder that you want to
find. If you do not see the contents of a folder, click
Show the contents of this drive
or
Show the contents of this folder
.
3
Continue double-clicking folders and their subfolders until you find the file or folder you
want.
