Happened upon this tip: Eventually, everyone misplaces a file and has to use Windows' Find feature to recover it. Normally, you just press Windows Key-F to open the Find application, type the name of the file you're looking for in the Named box, and click Find Now. Occasionally, you may only remember a small part of the file's name, and in these situations, you need to search for your file using a wildcard. Wildcards are symbols that stand for unknown characters. There are two types of wildcards used in searching, with the asterisk symbol being the most common. An asterisk stands for any length of text and is constrained only by its position to the other words you're searching for. So, for example, if you're looking for a specific file and you can only remember that it had the word "Report" in its name, you can type Report as your search criteria to find every filename containing the word "Report." The second kind of wildcard is the question mark, which stands only for a single character. In our previous example, typing J?ne Report would search for both "June Report" and "Jane Report."
