How to quickly find files and folders on Windows?

To quickly find a file or folder:
- Click the Start button. The Start menu will appear.
- Highlight Search.
- Click Files or Folders. The Search Results dialog box will open.
- Choose an option.
- Enter your search criteria. Use the table that follows to help you. Click search. The results of your search will appear in the right plane.
| Field | Entry Type |
| All or part of the file (document) name | Enter the filename, the first few letters of the filename, or any letters found in the filename. Use the * as a wild card. For example, to find all of the files that begin with r and end in the extension .doc, enter r*doc. To find files that begin with resume and have any extension, enter resume.*. |
