Finding a lost File


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.
