How do you find lost files on your computer? How can you locate all the photos you took last Summer? Where is the file you just downloaded? What happened to the file you just saved to your hard drive?

Watch this video to get answers to all these questions and more. In this video, Part 4 in the 5 part tutorial about Windows File Explorer, you will learn all about file search. You’ll learn how to search for file names and/or file contents. You’ll learn how to filter/narrow your search results so you can find a needle-in-a-haystack file. Lost files will be a thing of the past as you learn techniques to locate recently saved or downloaded files, and find specific types of files and even combine search parameters to drill down to just the file you want. For example, find a picture you took on January 1 with the word /”beach/” in the file name. You’ll learn how to save file searches for later or repeated use. And you’ll learn how to speed up searches with indexing and other advanced techniques.

In this five part video tutorial, you’ll learn all about the File Explorer program interface, how to move files, copy files, rename files, duplicate files, find missing files, manage libraries, and so much more.
