    When searching for files in Windows Explorer (WIN 7), can the railways under folder reading "c:\help\me\please" instead of "Please (c:\help\me)?

    Thank you!

    What you can do is to do a search, right-click on any column heading (for example name, folder, etc.), and then click "Folder path" from the list that appears.  You can also click to turn off the folder.  The next time you're looking for in this area, this column of path of the folder should appear.  You can drag the columns in a different order also.

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    We have updated and also the size option in windows 7.
    Open windows Explorer, you will see a search box in top right of the window. When you place a cursor in the search box, you will see a dropdown menu with updated and available sizes.

    You can also search for .pdf or any file by typing the name of the file in the search box.

  • Search for files based on the flow

    Hi, I would like to be able to search for specific files mp3 and m4a files based on their bitrate, IE search for files with a bitrate to 128KBit.

    I don't know, but is it possible under Windows Vista, or do I need another tool to do?

    Thank you

    Hello trotskyicepick,

    Windows Search does not include a searchable property for the bitrate, but Windows Explorer can indicate the rate on view Mp3 files.  For example, you can sort and filter the search results by bit rate and group your files in this way.

    For example, if the files in question are in your folder of music and its subfolders, click music in the left pane of Windows Explorer.  Now paste this query into the search engine:

    ext:MP3

    Now, right-click on a column heading in the right pane and add the property of spleen in the view. Click the bitrate column header to sort the display rate.  Now click the drop down menu on the same header and choose "near CD quality' in the list.  This filter the search results so that only files recorded to 128 or more appear.

    Unfortunately, the Vista does not support the M4a format, so speeds of transmission of these files are not visible in Windows Explorer.

  • GetFirstFile and GetNextFile while searching for files

    In LabWindows 7.0 "C" I use a wild-card building to search for files in a folder called "PAT_DISKS" below as shown:

    strcpy (work, "c:\\DEVELOPMENT\\PAT_DISKS\\? MS? _DSK_PAT");
    is = GetFirstFile (work, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, name);
    is = GetNextFile (name);

    There are at least three folders corresponding to the criteria of 'PAT_DISKS', but "GetNextFile" are not.

    Is this a bug in LabWindows CVI 7.0?

    Thank you, your answer helped me to find the problem.   As usual, it's between the keyboard and the Chair.  Without realizing it, I was pointing to another folder that I created earlier for debugging purposes.  There was actually only a subfolder so "GetNextFile" function work properly.

  • search for file names with tilde character

    trying to locate all the file name containing the tilde (~) character. It is obviously special for the search as a search looking for files with this character corresponds to each file. I can't find the mechanism to quote the tilde so that Windows will search for files containing the tildes in name literally.

    You expect to be easy to find the answer, but then I found others asking the question. I can't find the answer.

    See the following article on research in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/75447-search-options.html.  I ' ts faily basic and probably does not cover what you need to know to make the research you are tyring to do.
