Finding Stuff

If you are  looking for something on a long web page with Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox and you think it's there, but you're faced with a large number of paragraphs, sentences, and words to go through.

Well, when this happen to you, just hit Edit on the Menu bar and click find or simply do the CTRL-F shortcut on the keyboard. You'll get a little find box in IE or a box under as applied to Firefox that allows you to type the specific word or number you are looking for.

Moreover, you can also use a variation of this tip in Windows Explorer. Next time you're looking for a file in Explorer, hit CRTL-F and you'll get a Find or Search box (depending on what flavor of Windows you're using).

If you are already in the area of your hard drive where you think the file is (say, My Documents), hit CTRL-F and your search will be set to look in the My Documents folder.
