Simple (Filename) and Complex (Advanced) File Filtering  and 
What these Buttons Do
Buttons allow you to create, edit, delete and prioritize both Filename and Advanced Filters for Explore View.
Why Filtering is Great
File filtering allows you to wander around your file system from folder to folder in Explore View and only see those files that are of interest to you.
For instance you could turn on a Filename Filter that would:
| • | only show *.exe and *.DLL (*.exe | *.DLL) |
| • | only show pictures of you dog (Dog*.bmp | Dog*.jpeg) |
| • | would not show any *.exe or *.DLL files (-*.exe | -*.DLL) |
Or you could turn on an Advanced Filter that would
| • | only show files that had been modified within the last day, hour, month or since whenever |
| • | not show any files with a hidden or system attribute set |
| • | or just about any criterion or set of criteria you can imagine. |
Hint:
You can also add and edit Filename and Advanced filters by clicking the down arrow next to their command buttons ( and ) and selecting the appropriate menu item.
You can also select the Explore | Edit Filename Filters... or Explore | Edit Advanced Filters... from the main menu.
