Finding a Specific File/Folder

Sometimes you may forget where you saved a file, or even where you created a folder.
Head to ''my computer'' and then press control+F on your keyboard.
Now on the left hand side there should be an animated dog, or some sort of animated character with a speech bubble near it. Here, you can select the category of your file/folder. If you don't know where your file/folder fits under, select ''All files and folders''


Next, try to fill in as much information as you can. E.g. Part of the file name, word phrases in the file (this would only work in word documents etc) and in the drop down menu, where you would like it to search for the file. If you can, you can do more advanced options.
It takes a while to find, but it's very nifty because you can do other stuff while your waiting for it to search the file/fodler for you. I use it all the time, because I have soo many files and folders that I can't remember where I've saved them all.
Hopefully this made your life a tad bit easier.
