Windows allows us to save a large volume of files without any problems or restrictions and order them in the way we want. This is one of the attributes that most of the users of this operating system mention and it is its customization. And in the same way we can have access to these files in different ways. This is why we will teach you how to find files that have been modified by date, quickly and easily.
Being able to have a protocol to find files saved on our computer is very necessary. And even more so when we can have hundreds of files, with various contents. In this way, a faster and more organized search can be carried out, so as not to waste our valuable time.
Windows has always tried to offer its users different, easy and practical ways to access a file in the case of not remembering the name. For example, we can search and find files based on their extension. As you can see there are many ways to do it and then we will show you another, how to find files that have been modified by date.
How to find files that have been modified by date
One of the tools widely used to search for files on any drive on our PC is the Windows File Explorer. Through it, we can make different filters, search and find the desired file. Either by type, name, extension, by creation date, etc. but it can still be a bit difficult if we have a high volume of files.
We have already talked about the versatility of Windows and its explorer cannot be an exception and the same application puts at our service a very practical tool.
Through it you can search for a file by its creation date, the date on which it was modified or by date range. So if we do not have data such as your name, extension, route or type, we can appeal for this data.
Steps we must take to find files that have been modified by date
So that we can search for files that have been modified by date, we must do the following, first we must go to Windows explorer. Being there we will position ourselves on the search engine and we will click. When this is done, the following option Modified Date will appear at the top of the browser.
Now we select it to show us more options to search for files according to the date on which they have been modified. Among the different options we can see, Today, Yesterday, This week, Last week, This month, Last month, This year, Last year. You can choose any of them and doing so will show us in the search field a time.
We can also appreciate that a small calendar will appear where we can directly indicate the exact date of modification. We can also specify a specific time range for the browser to search for the file. In the search field we can write the following commands to make the search better.
We can write the command datemodification: and we indicate a period of time to carry out the search or we can put in the search engine datedecreation: and then we indicate the range or the date and thus begin with the search for the file. These are the two different ways that we can search for files that have been modified by date.
As we have seen so far, the options we can have to search for any file on our computer are very varied. And we will always have a practical way to do it at hand, if we do not have certain data. And so we conclude this tutorial that was in charge of showing you how to find files that have been modified by date.
