Find Files in Windows 98
by John Anthony


A program called Find can help you locate Files and Folders on your PC.

1) Click Start, Find and then ‘Files or Folders’ and the ‘Find All Files’ window opens.

2) In the window that opens there are three boxes to fill in:

a) In the box labeled Named, type in the full or partial file name you want to locate.

b) You can optionally search for text within each file by entering the text you want to search for in the box labeled ‘Containing Text’.

Note: If you look for files by file name and text within the file, then only files matching both conditions will be found.

c) Click the arrow at the right side of the box labeled “Look In’ and in the drop-down list that opens, select the drive(s) you want to search in. If you want to search all folders in the drive you select, check the ‘Include subfolders’ check box.

3) Click the 'Find Now' button and all files and folders matching your search conditions appear in a list. The path of each folder and file is also displayed.
