Hi Virgil, If you search in windows explorer in windows 7, then you can use wildcard characters. You can use the search box, to search the current location: 1. press ctrl+e to move to the search box. 2. type in your search terms, for example draft*.* 3. tab to the items view which displays the results. Often, the files you will be looking for will be in one of your libraries: this includes the folders my documents, my music etc. If you open windows explorer from the button on the taskbar, then windows explorer opens with the libraries folder as the current location. Alternatively, press windows key + e to open windows explorer with computer as the current location, press alt+d to move to the address bar, type libraries, and press enter. If you know more exactly where your files are, then set that as the current location. For more details about searching in windows explorer on windows 7, see the searching section of this guide: http://goo.gl/QbX8F David. original message: In an earlier note, I asked, Does anyone know how to perform a wildcard search for files using Jaws 14 and Windows 7? I should have elaborated. I want to perform a wildcard search to find related files, draft*.*, for example. In Windows 7, how does one perform such a search. A friend suggested choosing "computer" on the desk top and then choosing "Library," which I can't find without using the Jaws cursor/mouse pointer. What do I do after choosing "library, assuming that's the route to take. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.
