Introduction

The File Find program helps you find files on your hard drive (or network volume) by searching for all files that match the specification(s) you enter.  Unlike other programs, however, File Find searches the name for the characters you enter regardless of where they appear in the name (or extension).  File Find runs under WIndows 95 but does not support Windows 95 long file names.  Searches are limited to the 8.3 DOS file name.

For example, if you search for "HQ" all of the following files will be located:

•	HQINFO.TXT

•	ABOUTHQ1.DBF

•	PROJECT.HQ2

Notice that the position of the letters HQ are not important.  The entire file name and extension are always searched.

If you want to look for all files which end in a specific extension you should include the period (.) in the search string.

As files are located they are added to the list in the window.  You can review this list for the file you are looking for.  If the list is truncated (because of a long path) you can maximize the window to show more.  You can also use the scroll bars on the list if the list contains more options that will fit in a single window.

You can highlight a file (with it's path) and use the buttons to process the entry.  The buttons are:

•	Clipboard - Copy the file and it's path to the clipboard.  You can paste this information into another application (specifically the Open Dialog Box) with the CTRL-V key.

•	Run - Run the file if it is a .BAT, .EXE, .COM or .PIF file.

•	Access - Open up the file's linked application (see the windows documentation) and automatically bring in the highlighted file.

•	Print - Open up the files linked application (see the Windows documentation) and automatically print it to the current printer.

•	Delete - Delete the file from the search media and remove it from the list.

Search
Searching for Files

•	Type the characters you want to look for in the "Files to Search for" text box.  When the focus leaves this box your item will be added to the list below.  You can add any number of items to search for.

•	Select the drive you want to search.

•	Select the path you want to search.  All subdirectories are always searched.  If you want to search the entire drive select the root directory.

•	Uncheck the Beep check box if you do not want File Find to beep and display a message when the search is complete.

•	Click on the Search Button.

•	To abort the search click on the Abort button.  To exit the program click on Quit.

Please note that the search process takes a great deal of CPU resources.  Mouse clicks may be delayed for a few moments.

Obtaining Product Support

Pride Software Works! prides itself on providing quality software at low prices.  There are many things we have done to accomplish this.  To keep our cost low, we don't automatically send out update diskettes to registered users.   You can obtain updates several different ways.  Another way we control cost is by not staffing a phone bank to accept product support phone calls.  Instead, we provide support via electronic email or standard mail.

You can also visit use on the Internet World Wide Web site.  We maintain this site with the latest information about Pride Software Works! and the latest versions of our products.  You can see what other products we have and download the latest version any time.  Join us at http://www.infi.net/~pride.

Should you have a problem using one of our products, suggestions for improvements, or just want to say hi, please don't hesitate to write. We want to hear from you!
