finding old files
Is there anyway to find old files on your PC
I've tried using the 'find' option but it comes back as having to many results (max is 10000 results), and I'm only doing a 1 year search. if I used the advanced section for html file it comes back with zero results but I know there are files in this date range (I saw them).
maybe I broke it
I'm trying to find a few files (I might still have - name unknown) from back in '98 or '99 would be either .html or .txt
running win98se

tried that and gives me over 10000 results in a one year date range, max results is 10000 and i'm sure if its there it will probably be in that 10001 + group
