Hi Kelly and others,
An equivalent to "Find File" in "Windoze"? Go to the Start Menu,
choose "Find", then "Files or Folders". The "Find: All Files" window
appears, with the "Name & Location" tab selected. In the "Named:"
field, you type some part of the name of the file, and just
underneath there's a "Look in:" field, which will usually contain
"(C:)" at first. Here you can either type a path/drive of your own,
or activate the submenu to choose another drive. Selecting "My
Computer" in the submenu would be like selecting "on all disks" on
the Mac. The "Browse..." button works the same way, except that it
includes the entire hierarchy, from the Desktop to the Control Panels
to the Recycle Bin. The "Browse..." button is also good for
selecting specific folders on specific drives.
Click on the "Date Modified" and "Advanced" tabs, and you should be
able to figure the rest out from there, as it's very similar to "Find
File" on the Mac. I'm not too familiar with Sherlock myself.
Does the degree of difficulty you're having go deeper than this, or
have I said too much?
Peace,
Bob
