  Kathy,

  Using Windows Explorer, make sure you're in the list pane, and not the folder 
pane.
  Position on a drive  or folder in which you want to search.
  Alt+f, then the letter "E" until you hear "search".
  Enter key and you'll be in a very accessible dialog to put in a partial file 
name, or tab to the field to search for a string in the files. 
  You can also determine whether to search subfolders or not, and other options.
  Press the find button and wait.
  When done, answer yes to the Finnish search question and then tab, and you'll 
be in a list of files, if any were found.
  The best part of all this is that if you Alt+F4 out of the search, you're 
still in Windows Explorer.

  Dave

    Can anyone reccomend an accessable  utility that can be used to "quickly" 
find a file given a partial file name.  I am using XP and JAWS7.  Thanks, Kathye
