Goggle Drive Works Really Great For Sharing Chief Files

[perryh]

Scott, Off the subject of DB, and on the subject of files on your machine, here is a great shortcut to easily find most any file on your machine.

Click on the START icon. Your cursor will be sitting in a box at the bottom of a search box. Simply type in the name of a file or folder, and hit enter. A dialog with everything that is found matching the search criteria will be displayed.

You can either left click on the file to open it directly, or right-click on it, and choose the option to "open file location".

You can even use "wildcards" to find all files of a certain type, like this example: Type in *.plan and you will get all your chief plan files listed. Pretty cool.

Windows 8 even goes one better than that.
