• 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.

  Here is an article on research options in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/75451-advanced-search.html.

  Here is an article on the use of advanced query options to improve searches in Vista (I think yuu might find your answer in this one): http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/158288-advanced-searches.html.

  Here is an article with a number of advanced search options and how format the queries that may be helpful: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows/archive/b/windowsvista/archive/2007/05/09/advanced-search-techniques.aspx.

  I hope this helps.  If not go back and I'll try to find more resources or attempting to do myself to see if I can understand how do.  It seems that Mr. Wizard answered the question before I coulld end my post. The anwer to the 'why' is probably contained in the above items.

  Good luck!

• How do you search a file name with parenthesis in there?

  Received a ton of files with duplicates, I need to delete.

  All the duplicate files end with '(1)' in the file name, for example: FilenameTest (1) .pdf

  I would like to find all files with '(1)' in the name of the file and then delete them, but spotlight search no parenthesis. This seems to be a documented problem (bug?). Is there a syntax or other workaround to force the spotlight to return a search with the bracket?

  Thanks in advance.

  The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run the following exactly as shown:

  Tell application "Finder".

  Remove (each point of (choose folder) whose name contains '(1)')

• Auto fill the file name only

  Hello

  For starters, I'm a very low level starting with JavaScript.  I understand what it is and can do, but I have no idea how to write it, and I was not able to learn again.

  Can someone help me please find/write a script that can be defined as an action on a text field to automatically fill in the name of a form file (similar to how would work a script that fills the current date).  My goal was to put right in the footer, and I thought there was no way that would not have Acrobat a few step has already set up to do this, but after about 4 hours of research, I have not found something that works for me and it really keeps me upward.  I found a few things that populate the number page, date and then file name or path. But I want only the name of the file to fill in the lower right corner, in a small, gray.

  I would greatly appreciate the knowledge of anyone on this!

  Thank you!

  Stef

  If you want just the current file name, you can do the following:

  Go to the calculation of the field and under custom script tab, enter the following

  This.documentFileName = Event.Value;

• Applications Windows XP Startup - Bug: the .exe file name only, not the full path

  Using Windows XP, run-msconfig-startup online online, only the name of the Executive file of the Applications that load and boot at startup are shown - this name sometimes not easily indicates he belongs as to which Application.
  Therefore, it becomes difficult to decide to uncheck (stop autoloading at startup) or not - unless the full path to its location is revealed. But this small window no poster not the full path - even if the mouse pointer is hovered over an entry in the list of applications.
  Third-party software (AnVir Task Manager Free) displayed the full path when the mouse pointer is moved to an entry.
  Microsoft should take the queue and improve this Service / installation / functionality, please.

  On my Windows XP, there is a 'Command' column / window for the start of the tab that displays the full path to the file.  If this column is not wide enough to show the entire path, place your cursor on the line that separates the column header in order for the column heading 'Image '.  The cursor turns into a line with arrows pointing to the left and right upright.  Click and hold the mouse button down and drag to the right.  The column will expand and a horizontal lift will open down to scroll all right.

  If this does not satisfy your needs, try the more technical version of msconfig Microsoft-"Autoruns".

• The search for file names with a tilde ("" ~ ")

  In Windows Explorer, how can I search for filenames containing a tilde? I tried the name: ~, but this seems to find all the files. I tried going to ADVANCED search and specifying, ~ * ~ *, ' ~ ', etc. and he always seems to find all files. "It's a drag, since all these tilde files are probably temporary which can be deleted.

• Cannot change the reading file attributes only in Windows XP

Can I configure PSE to exclude specific files ended types (for example to ignore. CR2)? Can I use Find to eliminate one or more types of files based on extensions?

  FYI: I use PSE10

• Unable to find files and folders using Windows Search

  Original title: Windows search returns no results, but only for a single user - another user works very well - Windows 7

  All of a sudden windows search of files and folders (from windows Explorer) do not return results - even if I'm looking for in a folder with a file name that I know is in there.  However, it works for the other user on this system.

  The things that I tried or looked at who did not work:

  • Configuration of the default folder options.
  • reconstruction of the index
  • sfc/scannow - said "windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to solve some of them.  I have the CBS. If necessary log file.
  • research done that windows has been archived 'Tour of the windows features turn on or off.
  • Ran the registry of Windows Search - he said that he fixed two things (cannot tell you what they were now), but still, it does not solve the problem. When I run it says once again that there are no errors.
  • I checked this registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced\\\ and key Start_SearchFiles - which was set to 2, the default
  • Under Customize Start Menu - search with public folders is selected under search for other files and libraries.

  It still does not work.  The search box in the start menu seems to work, but not for anything I get.

  Frustrated!

• Search for files by name, date range, size, content, etc.

  I just changed from windows XP pro to win 7 pro 64.  For twenty years, I used the "Norton File Manager" who does not work under Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I became dependent on its ability to search relatively sophisticated as by date range, size, content, name, etc.  I guess that Windows 7 has something like this, but I'm not.  Can you help me?

  I recommend two different third-party search programs, both free:

  1. search everything, which is faster if you search by file name
  (http://www.voidtools.com/)

  2. agent Ransack, which is the best for finding content, etc.

• Why can not only search for files that begin with a particular character or Word?

  We have always been able to do in previous versions of Windows by typing: S *. *

  In Windows 7 If this is something that has a ' anywhere in the file path or name.

  As you have discovered, Windows indexes now better informed than before. So what was once a file name filter is now a search through file names, content and more - a bit like a search engine.

  If a search for S. * may train with aSunday Slippery Slopes.docx or Fans.jpg C:\ path.

  Fortunately, you can precede your search term with the domain that you particularly interested. For example, try System.FileName: ~<> or filename:F *. *
