Eureka, look what I found ... funny if you all know it and I'm the only one enlightened.
Here's an improved method to find files using the standard Start > Find> Files or Folders... routine. Took me 5 years to find this trick: Let's say you placed a file in your computer named "Directions from Long Island" (happens that I have such a file). How would you use the �Find� utility to find it? You can�t use the quotes as you might with a search engine; and if you show the spaces you get all files in your system that have any of those four words. What do you do with the spaces? Answer: Just stick a question mark wherever there's a space. Type it like this: "directions?from?long?island" (no spaces and without the quotes) and presto, you have your file. I wonder if I�m the only one amazed by this; but then I�m still amazed how a can opener works.
