How to Find Files

1)     Go to Windows Explorer by right clicking on the My Computer icon and selecting Explore.

2)     Go to the Tools menu at the top and select Find then Files or Folders and new window will appear.

3)     Pick the location you want to search for the file in. If you are not sure where it is at all pick the Local Hard Drives         option to search all of your local drives (if your computer has more than one), this option will not be available if you         do not have more than one drive so just select C:

4)     In the Named space type in the file name plus extension (.doc, .jpeg). If you are not sure of the whole file name or how         you spelled if when you saved it, you can type in the beginning of the name and an * (scr*.*) and it will find all the         documents that start with scr. If you do not know the extension you can type in filename.* and it will search for all         files with that name but with any file extension. Also if you are looking for a particular type of file such as a Word         document you can type in *.doc and it will find all Word documents. After it has finished searching all the files will be         displayed below.

5)     If you would like to copy a file you have found right click on it once in the find window and pick Copy. Then go into         Windows Explorer and Paste it into a location where you will be able to find it later.         If you need help copying files please click here.
