Partial file names | Type region to find all files with names that include "region." |
File name Extensions | Type *.tif to find Tagged-Image files. |
Wildcard characters | To find only file names that end with "region," type "region. To find instances of both "gray" and "grey" in the file names, type gr?y. Use an asterisk (*) to match any number of characters (type r*n), or use a question mark (?) to match any single character. |
The full path | Type c:\House pictures\interior remodel in 1995. When you include a drive letter, share, or folder, the program automatically updates the location in the Look in box, displays only the name of the file in the File name box, and then opens the file. |
Multiple paths | Type c:\House pictures;c:\My work pictures. Separate each path with a semicolon. |
