After doing a lot of searching, I found a way to search for a file with a specific modified date. Once you have opened the drive or folder where you want to look for a file, tab to the search box and type:
System.DateModified:mm/dd/yyyy Be aware that there are capital letters and lower case ones. I do not know if it matters if you have to be case sensitive. You will also need to do a 2 digit month and day, and a 4 digit year. Now I've got to be honest, I did not finish typing in the above text. At some point I heard JAWS announcing something and I then found that I could use my up and down arrows to select if I wanted to look for a file from last week, earlier this week, yesterday, etc. I picked yesterday and pressed enter and I got the results I needed. Here is the URL to where I found this info: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-IS/windows7/Advanced-tips-for-searching-in-W indows Once on the webpage, press T and you will find a small table with examples of other search terms.
