I'm not sure about this, but it's worth a try:

1. go to the desk top

2. press windows key with f

3. press alt l and type c:\ in the edit box

4. press alt n and enter at least part of the file name you seek

5.  You should get a list of files so arrow thru these until you come to the
one you want and press enter on it. The associated program should open with
this file.

Hope this helps,
John S
