Windows 7 Search can help you find anything, randomly

Click the Start button, and then type a word or part of a word in the search box. As you type, items that match your text will appear on the Start menu. The search is based on text in the file name, text in the file, tags, and other file properties.

Browsing for the file might mean looking through hundreds of files and subfolders. To save time and effort, use the search box at the top of the open window.
