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 *. *

  • Sony CCD-TRV608 camcorder. can not find drivers for it to work with Windows 7.

    I have a Sony CCD-TRV608 camcorder and can not find drivers for it to work with Windows 7.  I've been on the Sony website and they do not have something there that I can find... most of the options you can choose to say there is nothing available after you select them.   Problem #2 - I do not know what kind of cable I need to connect the camcorder to the computer.  Any ideas?  Thank you very much!

    Hello JacquieXU,

    You will need a USB cable to connect the camcorder to the computer. You can directly connect the USB cable which you would have received with the camcorder and would appear as a plug-and-play device. If you have the software Camcorder installed on the computer, it will directly load the default drivers when you connect the camcorder.

    If the USB generic drivers are unable to load when you connect the camera, check if the camcorder is compatible with Windows 7.

    Thank you

  • DFSR and files that begin with numbers

    I have a DFSR configuration and it works fine except that when I went to check if all files have been sync'd I noticed none of the files that begin with a number are replicated from the original host to the new.

    It is the filter that is in place:
    ' ~ *, master, *.tmp.
    That should not exclude these files.
    TIA

  • How can I search for all files that begin with "~" with a tilde

    With Windows XP, it's simple. I would like to do a search for "~ *.» ' * ' and I want to find all files that began with a tilde. That no longer works. My computer is full of unnecessary files that I want to delete and they are not getting cleaned by the utilities that I have. Thank you

    If you actually surround the search term ~ *. * with quotes "~ *.» ' * ' it should work here.

  • Windows XP Explorer can perform a file search based on several search criteria? Try to search for files that contain certain words in the content of the file. The basic functionality seems to include the ability Word or a single sentence.

    Search for files using several search criteria.

    Native XP research capacity is quite limited. Try the free Agent Ransack instead. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • XP host does not have any file that begins with "VM".

    Problem of crazy that I can't understand.  Under XP Pro SP3 on a desktop computer and try to install VMPlayer 3.01.  If I try to run the file that I downloaded I get a warning that "this application has failed to start because the application configuration is incomplete.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. "This exact file installs without problem on my XP Pro laptop.

    Here are the best, if I rename the file, so it does NOT begin with "VM", it will install.  But then if I try to turn on a guest operating system, I get an error because the other files that start with "VM" are started and fail.  If I rename notepad.exe to vmnotepad.exe it will not work!

    I uninstalled VMplayer and tried again with the same results.  I even tried a few VMware cleaner utility but no change.

    Any ideas?  Thank you.

  • Can not find / see some files that I know are there.

    I have Windows XP.

    I discovered a range of 'missing' in a certain folder jpg photos.  (I made sure that I had selected "Show hidden files" where they got the tag as hidden inadvertently).

    I checked my trash to confirm that they had not been removed.  I don't see them in there.

    I then went to my backup (carbonite) software to restore the missing files.  However, when I did, he asked me if I wanted to replace the file "disappeared" with the restored file.  In other words, he was saying that the file is still there - even if I can't see it / find.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Can you direct me to a page to work with this file, or provide an alternative? Thank you!

    Hello

    As you have found the error [access denied: 530] This means that the problem is with access. The user name and password that you enter is incorrect or you don't have the appropriate permissions.

    I suggest you to contact Godaddy to reset the password or reset the permissions.
