How do I find files created today? I just created an Excel file and then closed it. Now I can't remember where it was stored.

To find files created today in Windows, you can use the File Explorer search functionality. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Open File Explorer.
  2. Navigate to the folder where you suspect the file might be saved, or you can search in This PC to look through all drives.
  3. In the search box at the top right corner, type date:today to filter files created today.
  4. You can also use the search tools available in the ribbon to refine your search further if needed.

This should help you locate the Excel file you just created.
