but my photo hasn't extensions

i'm looking for all files without extensions

are you going by the name displayed within the GUI... because it hides the file extension unless specific folder options are used, also unless you intentionally named the file without an extension it will have one. I would be more inclined to try to search for all .jpg and .jpeg files and see if it's found. That is, if you are refering to an actual picture and not just using that as a reference.

Quick idea if you know the name of the file you could do this

C:\>dir /s nameoffile*

That will return everything with the name of the file, if you don't know the name of the file it's going to be rather difficult.

you can only search by the file name for files without extensions.

no

i saved some file without extension , i used comodo firewall , and you can save your preference

but it saves a file without extension

for example like standard or fast or ....

so i need to find them

have you made any changes to your firewall? If you look at the configuration settings now it should state the name of the running configuration file. Try searching for that. It also appears the default save location is the desktop.

How about just putting * in the search and then organise files by filetype... the ones with no extention will all be together.

I used to use this program a long time ago. I think it filtered extensions very well.

Tip 2: Use the exclude expression Options tab option to avoid searching given file types. For example, you can search everything but COM and EXE files by switching the 'Specifies exclude expression' in the options tab and setting the file name to the regular expression:

\.(exe|com)$ "

Search for !. (excludes any file with a period in it, showing only files without an extension).

Do a search for *.* or <filename>.* or .* I guess.
