How to Find a File

[BillW]

This very elementary!

How do I try to find a plain text file on my hard drive that I wrote some time back that contains the text string "pass"?

Thanks,
BillW

Open File Explorer and select 'This PC' then in the search box (top right) type in
    pass *.txt
press Enter and wait for the search to complete.

More specific criteria will speed up the search.

For example: if you know that the file will be in your Documents folder or one of its subfolders, navigate to Documents and follow the rest of Ken's instructions.

Have you tried Swiftsearch.exe I think its the best. It's portable.
