Here's a quick one
for you! If you often save different versions of the same file in different
folders on your computer, you should try using this simple tip. I promise,
you won't be disappointed!
When you go to save
the file, after the regular name, type ^1 behind it.
This makes it a version one. To get the caret (^), hold down the
Shift key and hit the number six on your keyboard.
For the second version, type ^2, after the file name.
For the third, type ^3 and so on.
Now, go and do a search
by clicking the Start button, followed by Search.
In the search criteria box, type ^ (just the caret).
When the search is finished, you can sort your list by name by clicking
View and then Arrange Icons By > Name.
You now have a list
of all the files you save “in versions" and in order, by version
number. You can now delete the ones you don't need. That's pretty convenient,
isn't it? Give it a shot!
