Forgotten the Name of an Important Document? Explorer Tip

Posted by accountingweb on Sep 26 2000 131 printer friendly

Every once in a while our memories don't serve us well, and we forget the name or path of a file or lose track of a file altogether. If you know you created it, and you know you saved it, but you can't remember what you called it, try this:

Open Windows Explorer.

Go to Tools and select Find.

Select Files or Folders.

Click the Date Tab.

Select Find all files, then choose Modified from the drop-down list.

Click between and then choose a date range when you know you worked on the file.

Click Find Now.

Happy Hunting.
