Windows 7 one could find all Jpg files with: *.jpg And they would appear in one list...all of the jpg extensions. Why not windows 10?

Question

The Subject bar above is a very simple explanation of how one could find all jpg extensions on Windows 7 (and perhaps 8).  I don't have a clue on how to find them on Windows 10.

Answer 1

Hi Oakley

In Windows File Explorer (folder icon on your Taskbar) the search term *.jpg still finds all jpg files on your PC:

Answer 2

Thanks, Dave.  I clicked on the task bar icon with the folders in a blue folder storage device...but it doesn't work.  You're finding it still works on Windows 10 ? ?

Answer 3

Hi Oakley, the quickest way to browse your photos once they are found is:

On the View Ribbon at the top, set Layout to Large or Extra Large icons, and click the 'preview pane' button to turn that on . . .

Answer 4

OK...Dave.  The will open but as a small icon, and they open, I believe, in the Microsoft Paint format.  I'm going to see if I can work on that...thanks again.

Answer 5

Dave, I found a way that it does still work.  I enter the search up in the title bar area on the right side, in the short search window.  Delivered a whole screen of small icon pics.  Now I'll try to open them as I've noted some folks have trouble opening them.
