How to find the location of a file or folder in windows 7

I have a few games on my computer. I can't find the location of the original file for them however. What I find is that they are in the 'games' folder that is included with windows 7. However, the whole files are not there. Only a little bit of information for the game is stored here. What I need to know is: how to find the original location? I tried the search bar "search programs and files" under the start menu, but the only place that appears is the Games folder. I need to know this, because I want to try modding my game called "Civilization 4. Can you please help?

Try this...

Start button > in the search box, type the name of the gam, i.e. of Civilization 4 > (do NOT press enter) > top left corner, you see the name "Civilization 4 '?

If so, right click on it > click Open File Location > the game exe file show be on the highlighted list > right click it > click on create a shortcut.

Happens to you?

  • How to find the path of a file

    Hello

    I have Windows 7 Starter.

    The search utility can be used to search for files by using the ' * ' wildcard, but unfortunately it does not show the path for no results.

    I would like to know how to find the path of a file of my choice.

    For example, I record a radio on the internet, which is then saved as "MP3". Now, I want to edit such a file, but I need to know where the file is actually stored. Simply access within a 'library' does not show me where the file is actually located.

    How to discover all paths where a particular file format?

    I hope to receive a response to this request.

    Kind regards

    Rayt333

    An option for the search utility see the paths for all of its results, would be useful.

    Hi Ray

    Overall view for the search folder for Detailsof Windows Explorer , by using the View Menu on the right side of the toolbar.

    Click on the last name column heading and select the folder item.

    If you do not see the folder item, click other, scroll and select the folder item. This will add the folder column.

    Use the left mouse button to drag the folder column to the left, next to the column name .

    Now, when you perform a search, the folder column will show the path of each file found.

    You must use a double apostrophe to denote an apostrophe in a literal string in SQL

    If ' "' is a single quote.

    Knowing that, it is what you need:

    SQL>  select instr('''345634'',''234''', '''', 3) pos_of_3rd_quote from dual;
    
    POS_OF_3RD_QUOTE

    Start the trainer and Simulator menu select "simulate / GPS location.

    You will probably need to add your location to the list of locations "simulations". Go to google maps, find your location and save the lat/lon values.

    Be sure to only select a device/Simulator that supports GPS

  • How to find the location of a bookmark.

    Sometimes, they are transferred somehow. If I get the name I gave the bookmark, it rises, but does not tell me when it is filed, my many bookmark folders, so I can bring it back here where they. This can happen to a folder and can take FOREVER to find where it has been moved to. When it comes in a bookmark search, by clicking its "properties does not display also where the bookmark is LOCATED.

    There may be extensions that can help, and bookmarks should not move on their own, but the best way to find a location of bookmarks is probably to open this bookmark. If you then click on the star, it will give you the options change, which displays the folder in which it is located in and allows to move easily if you prefer it to be elsewhere.

    I have not tried myself this add-on, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sortplaces/ and you will probably find quite a few other modules related to the use of bookmark.
