When using windows explorer to search for files only on my computer is there
a way to search for more than one file type at a time? Now when I search, I
want to find all .doc files modified in the last 24 hours, and all .xls files
modified in the last 24 hours, and all .mdb files modified in the last 24
hours. So I use *.doc and specify dtaes. It works good, but I have to do it
for each file type separately. I would like to use something like logic
operator "or" and specify all the file types I am interested in finding at
one time. Is there a way to do this? Thank you.

Separate the file types with a comma.

Enter *.doc, *.xls, *.mdb in the "All or part of the name" box.

Once the search is complete, if you have the Details view
selected, click on the Type column to group the same type of
file together.
