Tips and Tricks

First try to remember where you think the file was saved, then start by browsing to that location. If you are unsuccessful, try browsing in nearby folders. If you have absolutely no idea where the file is located, start at the root of each drive and work through each folder- when you locate the correct folder, the filename will be displayed in the browse box.

If you are not sure of the exact file name, try using “?” in place of unknown characters or an “*” in place of unknown characters of unknown length. For example:

• no??pad.exe
• no*.exe
• ?ot*.*
• notepad.*

All of the preceding examples will return the file “notepad.exe”

Note: Wildcards are not currently supported.
