Windows 10: File Manager -- How Do I find all files that BEGIN with the letter "X?"

The title is the question! I tried search with x*.* but that returns every file with an "x" in the name. I just want those that begin with x.

FTP server - with file management/filtering ability

I've been looking (with not much success) to find an FTP server with the following features:

1./ Be able to filter file extensions, (e.g. *.pdf) and/or
2./ Be able to filter by filename using file wildcards, (e.g. X*.*, or Readme*.*)

Why?
Because I would like to give a number of people access to a folder, called, say, "database" and subfolders. Clients need to be able to "read only" the directory and sub-folders and SOME files. Whereas employees I want to be able to read and edit ALL files.

I only want the clients to be able to see files that are for their eyes, and not work in progress, or invoice/contract data, etc. For example, .pdf files they could see, but the source files, .doc, I dont want them to have access to. PLUS, if there are files I don't want them to see, e.g. files beginning with an "X", then they are not visible to the client.

Unfortunately, every FTP server seems to have directory rights, but NO features for filename/extension filtering. There must be such FTP servers... but I haven't found one yet.

Can you suggest one? Alternatively, what is the BEST FTP software you have found... and I will approach the developer to add a simple file filter to the FTP server.

 

music files with an X on them

Not that I have a solution to suggest, but I think it is interesting that only three of the eight files in your list have that gray X. Are you able to copy those files which do not have the X? That might lead to a clue as to how the files got created, etc.

 

File Explorer is showing 2 different drive letters for the same Hard Drive. How do I delete the 2nd one?

You can delete the extra drive letter using the Disk Management tool in Windows. Here are the steps on how to do it:

1. Open Disk Management. You can do this by pressing Windows+X on your keyboard and selecting "Disk Management".
   
2. Right-click on the drive that has the extra drive letter and select "Change Drive Letter and Paths".
   
3. In the "Change Drive Letter and Paths" dialog box, select the extra drive letter and click the "Remove" button.
   
4. Click the "Yes" button to confirm.
   
5. The extra drive letter will be removed and the drive will only have the original drive letter.
   

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

• The extra drive letter may have been assigned by a third-party program. If you are not sure where the extra drive letter came from, you can try uninstalling any programs that you recently installed.
  
• If you delete the extra drive letter, any files that are stored on the drive will still be there. You will need to manually delete the files if you want to remove them.
