How to use the "Find" command to make the system search smarter

The "Start" menu in the "Start" menu is powerful and can be used very well. The following is a three-point experience of the author's use of the "Find" rule. This is listed below, which may be helpful to you.

One, multiple disk search

When you click “start → find → file or folder", open “ find: all files & rdquo; dialog box, In the "Search” box, if you only choose the range you want to search for, you can only select one disk or folder.

In fact, after clicking the "Search” box, you can type the disk character to be searched directly in this box, and use the semicolon in the English semicolon “;&rdquo Separation, such as typing “C:;D:;I:" (actually typed without quotes, the same below), then you can search for the files you need on multiple disks at the same time. To further narrow your search, you can also use the path in the "Search” box.

Second, the exact search file

If you want to find the file name contains a space bar, then you can ask the half-width "?" & rdquo; help you to find the exact. For example, in the "Find: All Files" dialog box, type "“Windows?XP Skills Dinner" in the "Name" box, and the system will find the name for you to include "Win-dows". “XP skills big meal” file. If you type "<quo;WindowsXP Tips" in the "Name" box, (there is a space bar after Windows”), the system will look for the name or have "Windows" or have "> Meal” file.

From this, we can see that in the "Name" box, “?” is a logical relationship, and a space is a logical OR relationship.

Third, delete all temporary files

Most applications generate temporary files during installation and runtime. After normal exit, normal applications can delete temporary files, but others No; if it exits abnormally, the temporary file will remain on the disk. These temporary files are scattered in various folders on the disk, which not only takes up space, but also reduces the read and write speed of the disk. We can use the “Find ” command to delete all temporary files at once.

First open the "Find: All Files" dialog box, in the "Search" box, select the disk to be searched; because the temporary file is generally "extension" with the extension "ldmp", so we are In the "Name” box, type “?.tmp”; click the “Start Search” button to start the search; after the search is complete, click the “Select All” command in the “Edit” menu , select all the files found, and finally click the "Delete" command in the “Files” menu. Now, the available hard disk space is not a lot bigger.
