Hi

I know this is possible but is there any reliable software around that will search for new, recent and modified files on a particular drive or in a folder and isolate them ready to save to memory stick or CD.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Normal search from start menu.

Find files using Date tab. Select modified, choose your range of dates.

You can choose which type of files are searched for by using wildcards: *.ext1; *.ext2; *.ext3;... OK, more direct example: *.zip; *.mp3; *.txt; *.html; *.jpg

You can keep your list of filetypes in a text file, then copy/paste them in to the search box as needed.

Select files from the results window and drag them to your CD burning software's Add window.

There is also free search software out there that has more features and is more flexible. Try different ones out from download sites until you find the one you want. You're already a member of download.cnet.com if you're posting here. There's filehippo, softpedia, sourceforge....

Can't personally recommend a particular tool here, but the Windows method should work fine until you find something you like.

Have fun.
