To quickly find a file or folder:

Click on the Start button.
Highlight Find.
Highlight Files or Folders.
Press Enter. The dialog box shown here will appear. You do not need to complete every field. Only enter the criteria you want to use for your search.

Name & Location Tab

Named - Enter the filename, the first few letters of the filename, or any letters found in the file name. Use the * as a wild card. For example, to find all of the files that begin with r and end in the extension .doc, enter r*.doc. To find files that begin with resume and have any extension, enter resume.*.
Containing Text - If you are looking for a file that has a specific word or phrase in the file, enter the word or phrase in this field.
Look In - Select the drive or folder you want to search.
Include Subfolders - Check this box if you want subfolders to be searched.
Browse - Click on the Browse button to manually select the drive and folder to be searched.

Date Tab

All Files - Select this option if you do not want to restrict your search to a specific date or period.
Find All Files - Select from Modified, Created, or Last Accessed. Select Modified to find all files modified since the date criteria you enter, select Created to find all files created since the date criteria you enter, or select Last Accessed to find all files accessed since the date criteria you enter.
Between/During the Previous - Specify the date search criteria you want to use. Between allows you to search for files modified, created, or accessed between two dates. During allows you to search for files modified, created, or accessed during the previous number of days or months you specify.

Advanced Tab

Of Type - Select a file type from the drop-down menu.
Size Is - Select from At Least and At Most and specify the size criteria you want to use in your search.
