finding files modified between dates

I'm a XP Pro user that just converted to Vista. I'm having trouble finding
all files on C:\ that were modified between certain dates. XP had a very
easy search function but Vista is a bit more obtuse. Can someone please tell
me how to find files created or modified between specific dates or before or
after specific dates?

I'm at my wits end -

Thanks Dave for the tutorial link. The old search engine in XP pro was so
much easier to use and rean so much faster than the new Vista / Win7 search
funtion.

And geeze - how many more clincks and letters/numbres that need inputting
for a simple "Find files between March 1 and March 5". When will upgrades
make it easier and not harder to do things. If I wanted extra steps I would
have bought a MAC and it's single button mouse.
