|
|
| My computer contains simply a huge quantity of different files. Such as Word documents, Excel sheets. There are few PDF files. I use them in my work - make reports etc. Which way can I use to improve the search of certain file? (for example, first time I need to view all the *.xls files in my working folder, 2nd - *.doc, etc) |

Hi! You just MUST try to use Custom search options of File Search Assistant! This will allow to forget the tiresome job on search. For this:
Open Edit... in Custom search menu. Here you can setup your preferable search settings, such as folders to search in and files to search for. Let's say your working folder is C:/My Documents; you want to view list of Excel sheets placed there. Then click Add mask to create new custom search group. Set the caption as you like - for example My reports. Enter the extensions you would wish to search by such group - *.xls;*.xlt;*csv;*.txt etc - and pick an icon to simplify your perception. Enter path to files (C:/My Documents). That's all. Now you are able to create list of your reports by one mouse click. |
