Here’s an entry level power user tip that will save you time if you’re constantly searching for the same thing on your PC. Since Windows Vista, File Explorer/Windows Explorer lets you save a specific search for quick access later.
For our example, we’ll be using Windows 10, but this tip will work for Windows 7 and up. Vista users can follow along too, but the specific example is not for you.
Searching your files
Let’s say you always need to refer to files in your documents folder that were modified during the current week and the week previous. Open File Explorer by tapping the Windows logo key + E in Windows 7, 8 and 10.
Now click on the search box and enter the following search:

`datemodifiedsadlast week OR this week)`

This is an advanced search term, but it’s pretty obvious what’s going on here. The command “datemodified” tells File Explorer to search for files only based on the date they were last changed. Everything after the colon tells File Explorer the range of dates to search for. read more http://mytechcolony..com.ng/
