How can I search for files and folders with some names?

[Juan I. Cahis]

Dear friends:

How can I search for files and folders with some names (for example
net*.exe)?

In WinXP it was an easy way to do it, but I cannot find Vista's
equivalent.

Thanks

Start > Search (the one in the column not the search box) > Advanced
Search

Take some time while there and browse all the selections possible,
the advanced search is very powerful and very few know about it.
The option to search non-indexed (everywhere) areas is especially
helpfull.



Hope this Helps
