Searching for Files in Windows XP Professional

[Rob]

Whose brilliant idea was it to remove
from the Search (files) option the
"date saved" option? Now you can only
search for files by when they were modified.
Or is there some option buried somewhere
that lets you search for newest files? I
wanted to search for a bunch of pdf files
that I downloaded to my usb drive last week,
and I can do that on my old win98 system
but not on a library computer with windows
xp professional.

Dunno.

Use Agent Ransack.

In the "When was it modified?" option click on the "Specifiy dates" and
then look in the "Modified Date" box, you will see options to search by
Modified, Created or Accessed dates.
