Windows 10 - where is my file? Feb 2, 2016 16:26:05 GMT 7

Running (genuine) Windows 10 Pro

Had some files, images and videos sent to my computer by bluetooth but can seem to locate them.

Have no idea how to search for things in W10.

File Explorer is no help.

Just quietly, I was really happy with Windows 7 ... best I ever had. But I don't store to cloud, have iTunes, have Facebook or Twitter or any 'essential' media.

Anyone, any ideas?

Thanks

At the end of the day, some you win, some you don't.

So I'm glad that I'm here with some friends that I know.

No (good) idea. For now avoiding Windows/10 like the plague.

Still, thinking, wondering and disliking windows maybe look in

- in your user directory there might be a directory 'documents' with interesting subdirectories
- maybe somewhere in the directory the bluetooth software is installed (like \program files\.....
- maybe in \windows\temp\
- maybe in \temp

As for find/search maybe need to enable indexing service first before you can search on file name / file contents ?

Of course in unix I'd just "cd /; find . -type f -mtime +1 -print"
