How to use the "find" command to make the system search smarter

  
The "Find" command in the Windows "Start" menu is powerful and can be used very well. The following is a three-point experience of the author's use of the "Find" rule. This is listed below, which may be helpful to you.
One, multiple disk search
When you click “start → find → file or folder”, open “ find: all files & rdquo; dialog box, in "search” In the box, if you only choose the range you want to search for, you can only select one disk or folder.
In fact, after clicking the "Search” box, you can type the disk character to be searched directly in this box, and separate the letters with a semicolon in English semicolon “;” For example, type “C:;D:;I:" (actually, the content does not contain quotes, the same below), then you can search for the files you need on multiple disks at the same time. To further narrow your search, you can also use the path in the "Search” box.
Second, the exact search file
If you want to find the file name contains a space bar, then you can ask the half-width "?" & rdquo; help you make an accurate search. For example, in the "Find: All Files" dialog box, type "“Windows?XP Skills Dinner" in the "Name" box, and the system will find the name for you to include "Win-dows". “XP skills big meal” file. If you type "<quo;WindowsXP Tips" in the "Name" box, (there is a space bar after Windows”), the system will look for the name or have "Windows" or have "> Meal” file.
Thus, we can see that in the "name" box, "ld" is a logical relationship, and a space is a logical OR relationship.
Three, delete all temporary files
Most applications generate temporary files during installation and operation, after normal exit, the general application can delete temporary files, but some can not; if it is abnormal exit , the temporary file will remain on the disk. These temporary files are scattered in various folders on the disk, which not only takes up space, but also reduces the read and write speed of the disk. We can use the “Find ” command to delete all temporary files at once.
First open the "Find: All Files" dialog box, in the "Search" box, select the disk to be searched; because the temporary file is generally with the extension of "tmp", so we are in the "name" In the ” box, type “?.tmp”; click the "Start Find" button to start the search; after the search is complete, click the “Select All” command in the “Edit” menu, select Find For all the files, click on the "Delete" command in the "File" menu. Now, the available hard disk space is not a lot bigger.
