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 whose names begin with three characters, of which
the first and third characters are C and M. We can also use the question mark as a wildcard more
than once as per the name of the file we are searching for.

i + USING MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS
When we work on a computer, we might need to work on more than one file at a time or open Funda
Use Alt + Tab keys to move
more than one application at a time. For example, while working on a Word file, we would be
between the open windows.
using Google to search for information 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.
• A web browser like Google Chrome with different web pages for research
• PowerPoint for presentation
• File Explorer
• Word for writing notes
Windows allows us to work with multiple applications, as we have learnt just now. In fact, we
could be listening to some music while doing all this work. As we know, all these applications
would be open in separate windows. If we want, we can display two or more application windows
side by side for easier work.
