Question: Write files name convention in window explorer?

Answer: Naming Conventions

The following fundamental rules enable applications to create and process valid names for files and directories, regardless of the file system:

• Use a period to separate the base file name from the extension in the name of a directory or file.
• Use a backslash (\) to separate the components of a path. The backslash divides the file name from the path to it, and one directory name from another directory name in a path. You cannot use a backslash in the name for the actual file or directory because it is a reserved character that separates the names into components.
• Use a backslash as required as part of volume names, for example, the "C:\" in "C:\path\file" or the "\\server\share" in "\\server\share\path\file" for Universal Naming Convention (UNC) names. For more information about UNC names, see the Maximum Path Length Limitation section.
• Do not assume case sensitivity. For example, consider the names OSCAR, Oscar, and oscar to be the same, even though some file systems (such as a POSIX-compliant file system) may consider them as different. Note that NTFS supports POSIX semantics for case sensitivity but this is not the default behavior. For more information, see CreateFile.
• Volume designators (drive letters) are similarly case-insensitive. For example, "D:\" and "d:\" refer to the same volume.
• Use any character in the current code page for a name, including Unicode characters and characters in the extended character set (128–255).

Question: How to search files in window explorer?

2.      Double-tap or double-click the folder, drive, device, or network location you'd like to search.
