How can I search for files and folders with some names?

Dear friends:

How can I search for files and folders with some names (for example
net*.exe)?

In WinXP it was an easy way to do it, but I cannot find Vista's
equivalent.

Take some time while there and browse all the selections possible,
the advanced search is very powerful and very few know about it.
The option to search non-indexed (everywhere) areas is especially
helpfull.



Hope this Helps
