SEARCHING YOUR HARD DRIVE FOR TEXT
Do you ever find yourself trying to remember
which of the many documents on your hard drive contains a
certain person's name, or key phrase of some sort? Well,
you can use the Find command on the Start Menu to help
you search out this document. When the Find window pops
up, type in any file wildcard specifications you need to
on the first tab. Then click on the "advanced"
tab (that's the little "index card" appearing
behind your first card, which is Name and Location.) Now
type the word or phrase into the field that's labelled
"Containing Text:". You can also limit the type
of files that are searched by selecting from the
scroll-down list in the list box that is labelled
"Of Type:". And you can even limit the size of
the files that are searched.
