We all have old files on our systems and in our home directories that have not been accessed in a long time. To find files in a home directory that have not been accessed in the last 200 days, you would issue the following command:
# find . -atime +200 -print
./hp/.Xdefaults
./hp/.bash_logout
./hp/.bash_profile
./hp/.bashrc
./hp/.kde/share/apps/kfm/desktop
./hp/.kde/share/config/desktop0rc

Several files were produced as a result of this search. I could run the same command and add to it an ls -l command so I could look at additional information on the file with the following command:
# find . -atime +200 -exec ls -l {} ;
