Finding files

If you do not already know there is a file find feature in Explorer..tools /find files or folders.

You can use wild cards. For example you can search for expa*.* and it will yield all files that begin with expa. *ex*.* also works. I tried it for expand.com and came up empty with win95 and win98. Be sure and select 'my computer' if you want to search the entire machine.

You can also do a text search. You may be able to find a call to 'program'. I just searched my new Win98 machine for text 'program' and came up with 481 files containing the term.

Text search is in explorer/tools/find in Win98 and tools/find/advanced in Win95.

The default settings in Win95 and 98 hide files from your view, probably for your own protection. I change the settings to see all files and all extensions.

To change settings explorer/view/folder options/view in Win98 and explorer/view/options in Win95
