Pinned Down Files

It's happened to everybody. I need to access this file, but where did I put it? Which directory and folder did I use? Now I have to consider a keyword search, but what did I name it and when did I last use it?

• Use Header and Footer elements
• Expand the recently used file list
• Pin the file

Regarding the age factor:

• Take St. John's Wort

Header and Footer Elements

Expand the Recently Used List

Pin Your Important Files

So when it comes to accessing important files don't pin your hopes on habit or memory. Pin your files instead.
