Searching for files/folders using a question mark( )
Question mark replaces a single character or symbol. It represents only one character, so it
searches for only one character. For example, when we type "C?M" in the search box of the File
Explorer, it will display only files or folders with names that have three characters, where the first
and third characters are C and M. The question mark can also be used as a wildcard more than
once, depending on the name of the file you are searching for.

USING MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS
When we work on a computer, we might need to work on more than one file at a time or open
more than one application at a time. For example, while working on a Word file, we would be
using Google for searching notes and PowerPoint for making the presentation. If we need some
images for the presentation, we would have the image folder open in File Explorer as well.
So, we could have one or all of the windows open for ourselves.

PowerPoint for presentation

would be open in separate windows. If
we want, we can display two or more
application windows side by side for easier work. In fact, Windows provides us with many
options for displaying the application windows when we are working with multiple applications.
