FINDING A LOST FILE How many times have you created a file and then couldn't remember what you called it? When this happens, use Windows 95's Find utility to locate your file. To do so, click the Start button and select the Files or Folders... command from the Find menu. Windows 95 will display the Find All Files dialog box. The Find utility is initially set to look for files by a certain name and location. However, this won't help you if you can't remember what you called the file in the first place. If you know approximately when you last modified the file, you can click on the Date Modified tab. The Find utility then allows you to search for all files that were last modified between certain dates or within a specified number of days or months. Simply enter your search criteria and click the Find Now button. If you're not sure when the file was last modified, click the Advanced tab. The Advanced tab allows you to search for a certain string of text within a file or search for a file of a specific size. Again, enter your search criteria and click the Find Now button to begin the search. Note: The Find function in Windows 98 and Windows 95 in which MSIE 4 has been installed, works slightly differently. One can enter text to be found in a file without going to the Advanced tab. |
