Finding files

[Lykele]

I'd appreciate a little help with a problem I'm having in finding files. I suspect it might have to do with Libraries which I don't fully understand.

If I go to C:\music I can see any number of music files located there. But when using another program and their option to "browse", when I go to the same folder I see none of the music files. Kinda like a magic act!

Could anyone point me in the right directions?

Thanks. Jim

If you click "Start", "Computer", there is a "Search" window in the right corner. You can put the file name (Blue.mp3) or if you don't know the file name, put *.mp3

It will bring them up.

Like the burger said, the *.mp3 is what you want.

Hi Jim,

Good guess on the Libraries issue! Here is a quick video (and links) that may help you find those files! Finding your files - Help & How-to - Microsoft Windows.

Thanks for the quick reply. You are correct that the search finds all the mp3 files. But the "browse" option within a program I am using does not see them.

I think I'll check out that video.
