How to find all files containing the letters 'abcd' somewhere in the filename, anywhere on the system (built-in storage and mounted cards):
Open osso-xterm
find / -name "*abcd*" -print
Or, to include only filenames, not directory names:
find / -type f -name "*abcd*" -print
To search for the same, but limiting it to the external card:
find /media/mmc1 -type f -name "*abcd*" -print
To find files in /usr (e.g. /usr/share, /usr/share/doc and so on):
find /usr -name "*GPE*" -print
And so on and so forth. The expression inside the quotes (you need quotes as soon as you start adding wildcards like * for multiple-char match and ? for single-char match and so on) can be e.g.
"ABC*" -- all files starting with the letters ABC, e.g. ABCde but not kABCDE
"file.[c,k,h]" -- files with the follwing names: file.c file.k file.h
"file.{foo,bar}" -- matches file.foo and file.bar
"[A-Z,a-z]bc*" - Files starting with any capital or lower caps letter plus the letters 'bc' plus any character(s).
Hope this helps..
(p.s the -print is actually default when executed from the shell, but it's good practice to include it anyway)

Also can I use my own image for the "wallpaper" and if so where are they?
1) Browsing the filesystem. You could, i.e., install mc (midnight commander), and this will allow you browsing the whole filesysthem from a terminal window.
GUI apps like the enclosed file manager will only show your home directory and the contents of MMC cards... this in order to stop you making something dangerous to your operating system. But, what's exactly your aim? Are there problems with GPE? Please specify.
2) Yes you can use your own image as a background. I can't give you the exact menu commands in English because my interface is in Italian, but on the upper left there should be something like a "Start" menu; under that, there should be something like "Tools", and finally something like "set background image". Most likely, your images will be in /home/user/Mydocs/.images - this can be reached also with gui apps.
3) I respect your opinions, but feel that under-paid chinese and mexican people should have a chance to work for their families.

It's a hot button issue here ... I assume you are in Italy.

This is a useful and interesting discussion but the use of off topic taglines, particularly offensive ones, should be avoided.

I shan't respond to the response you'll make to this, I'm not going to keep this going.
