5.1 The Windows 9x File Structure and File Management System
5.1.8 Searching for a file, folder, or directory
To find a file or folder, click on the Start button and choose Find. Next choose Files or Folders and type in the name or part of the name of the file. Searching efficiently means looking for a file or folder using a part of the name that is unique. In this example, "Wash", "Car Wash", or "Steps" will narrow the search down to just a few files. It will then search for files or folders containing that word. Users can also search by date created or modified or type of file. Double-click on the file to open it.

Note: A shortcut to the Files or Folders is to press the Window key and then f for Find and then f for Files and Folders.
