How do you search for pictures in XP by the date that the picture was taken?

I need to find a picture that was taken a few years ago.

First open search ('F3' on keyboard while in any of folders/desktop). Then choose 'Pictures, music or video'. Then check 'Pictures and Photos', and click 'Use advanced search options'. After that you will get three new options. You need 'When was it modified?'. Click it and you will have date options.

Bad information because Date Modified is NOT the same as Date Picture Taken. Date Modified is maintained by the Windows file system; Date Picture Taken is within the JPG file in the EXIF fields. Can sort by DPT, but not search in XP that I know of.  add a comment

Anonymous is right. Date Modified is not the same as Date Taken - same mistaken is being made by most posts here. If you right click in the properties headings in explorer you cad ad the field for date picture taken. Then you can sort by that field.  add a comment

In the advanced search options, you can restrict the dates in which the file you are looking for is. So you can select that it is an image file and that it is from X years to Y years for the dates to locate it.

Well, why don't you select the search button and type in IMG. Then also, sort out by date. Click the option that allows you to list by date/recent.

Right click, select View, then Details. Then right-click the directory bar and click more. "Date Picture Taken" should be an option in the list that pops up.

You'll want to do a search of the C drive. Go to the start menu and do a search. You'll want to do a search for pictures and change the parameter for "I don't know when" it was modified. If you have a lot of images on your computer this can take a while to complete.
