how do I search my desk top for pictures dated 1999?

Answer 1

Hey William,

Open your Windows Explorer - in accessories.

Go to the Folder where the pictures are stored.

Click on the Date Column, and that will sort the picture files by date.

Hover over a file name, to see the details of a file, including date.

Answer 2

or
If you've stored your photos in more than one folder, you can go to the Start button, click on Search, select "For Files and Folders",
in the Search dialog left frame
enter *.jpg (or whatever format your photos are stored as)
edit the location "Look in":
as you wish to determine how wide your search will be and then click on "When was it modified" and select the specific dates option and fill in the from and to dates for Jan1999 to Dec1999
and click on the Search button, this will display all jpeg files located in the drives/directories you selected on your PC.
