Struggling to search for multiple files

Similar Questions

• How can I search for multiple files at the same time?

  In windows XP, after the advanced search mode, I used to be able to search multiple files simply by adding a comma between them like this...

  90025,90028,90094

  and which returns 3 image files I was looking for.

  How can I do this in Windows 7?

  Use OR instead of the comma...
   
  90025 OR 90028 90094

• HP Notebook: Remove black search box that says - start typing to search for applications, files and settings

  Remove the black search box that says start typing to search for applications, files, and settings

  Can someone tell me please how to permanently delete this search field that keeps appearing in different applications that I use?

  I have windows 10 on a HP laptop. Often when I'm working in an application and I move the cursor on the screen, this search box - start typing to search for applications, files, and settings - appears. I tried several times to turn it off, but I do not just because I can't seem to get rid of it.

  I would like it removed permanently or turns off permanently so it is not continue to block my view of the application, that I'm trying. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Found this.

  Click on the Start button and select settings.

  Then select devices.

  Click on the mouse and touch pad and scroll down and select 'extra mouse Options '.

  This will open a box that should have the information and the name of the type of touchpad has your computer.

  Click on settings and then in the new box that opens, you should see a tab that says 'Tapping '.

  Open this tab and you should see 'Three finger Tap' and 'four finger Tap.

  Clear the check boxes, and then click 'apply '.

• Windows cannot find C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll.exe. Make sure you typed the name correstly and then try again. To search for a file check the Start button and then click search.

  I tried to launch my Spysweeper and found that is not there, then I re downloaded and I could not install it because it was already on my computer.  I went to the control panel to remove and got the message:

• The search for PDF files

  In Windows XP, when I go to 'Start' in the 'search' and specify a word in the name of the file and then highlight that it is a PDF file I'm looking for, it is unable to locate the file. I know that the file is there. Why is this happening?

  WHERE you 'to highlight that it is a PDF file?  I don't see this option in the SEARCH on my XP SP3 System.

  Assuming you start from START - SEARCH - for the FILES or FOLDERS - all THE FILES AND FOLDERS, you must then fill the box 'All or part of the name of the file', and then may set at glance if you want to restrict the search and finally click FIND.

  If you do not have a lot of pdf files on your system, you might consider simply using PDF as the 'part of the name of the file' and let Windows find all your pdf files.

• I can search for a file "xyz" and find everything BUT the file I want. This happens even when I know that the file exists.

  I try to search for a file... choose any file name... like 'cat' but get everthing that doesn't even look like a cat.  I can get a list of files of a thousand, but anything containing same cat in the filename OR in the file. No idea what I am doing wrong?

• "Can not open AsIO.sys (2)" I get this message when I log in after a reboot. I have search for the file, but can't find it with the research or the command prompt. What do do in this file, and can be created and put into the appropriate folder?

  Hi Jack,

  This driver belongs to AsIO.sys Asus Probe. Try to uninstall Asus Probe and if you need, install again. If this does not help, uninstall Asus Probe and other tools of control such as Speedfan. Open the registry (regedit.exe) editor and search for AsIO.sys and remove all the entries that you can find.

• How can I search for all files not containing a speific (_) character in a folder in Windows 7?

  How can I search in Windows 7 for all files not containing a speific (_) character in the file?

  I have two files with about 50 000 files in each folder.  There are many copies of the same file (only one folder contains photos, the other file has data files.  In the two files copies have the same name as the original file, for example IMG01, but identified for example IMG01_1, IMG01_2, etc..)

  I would like to find all files that DO NOT have a _ in them.  Can I do this?  How?

  Or I have to search for all files that have a _ by searching for * _ *?  Delete these files?

  I tried, but program trotted for 2 hours.  Just take a while?

  I thought that if I could search only files without the _ it would be more effective.

  Less than 20% of the files in each folder have not a _ in them.

  You should be able to use a? or * to replace a number of characters that are either unique or variable.  * book would find both book and facebook, or? ook would only book.

  Anyway, there's probably not a way to identify the files corrupted by a search.

• Search for all files? Search by creation date?

  How can I search within all files?  I know that the files are there and contain the words I'm looking for, but Windows cannot find them.  Some files do not have extensions, some have a .bak extension and some have various other extensions.

  Also, I see an option to search by modification date, but not created.  How can I search for all files on my hard drive, created on a particular date (including the .dll, .exe, etc..).  I'm trying to find all the files that were installed with an application.  The files have different change dates, but all have the same creation date (when the application has been installed).

  I do not understand how that returns results for all files (including non indexed files).  Can you please explain?

  The search interface has been simplified at the request of the overwhelming majority of users. Until a more sophisticated user, you liked the very high amount of control WHAT XP gave it. The new interface 7 has fewer orders. When the research opens, you will see an "additional search... "Computer" and other. Since you are obviously in control of syntax, the interface for non indexed opening files is quite simple. There is always the option to expand the index to include everything. (Control panel/Indexing Options)

  If your index still don't "look in" a file, you can try to assign an 'association' for the file type. I have no idea what the .xyz file type might have as a native association, but you can associate this notebook. (right-click, open with, choose default program..., see the box always 'use..')

  You must add the extension from the file after pasting the file name as bride - 1.jpg or .cr2, and with whom you should get the desired result.
