| Place a Find Request on the Desktop Arguably, one of the best new features of Win95 over previous versions is its "Find" feature. Although many applications had their own versions of file-searching routines, it is nice that one now comes built in the operating system (shell). Using this "find" feature, files can be found by name, date, contents, etc. If you constantly need to "find" the same files, you may want to save a request straight to the desktop, so that you do not need to keep re-keying the same information over and over.
First, click on the "Start" Menu, choosing "Find" and then "Files or Folders...". Click on the various fields, choosing which files you wish to find and where you want to find them. Choose whether or not you wish to save the request itself to the desktop or simply save the files that you have "found" to the desktop. If the latter is your wish, click on the "Options" menu and choose "Save Results" so it is checked. Click on "File", and choose "Save Search." An icon will be created on your desktop. Rename it, change the icon, etc. to your liking.
