FileTracer is a great utility that allows you to instantly find the file you want, without the need to trawl through all those separate folder windows.

Using the familiar Windows Explorer interface, FileTracer is extremely easy to use, and mighty fast too. Whether you want to find an image, application, folder, zip file, or anything else for that matter, FileTracer is the tool for the job. Forget the Find tool built into windows, this is a far more powerful and resourceful tool that you will wonder how you coped without.

It is particularly suitable for large drives with many files, but it will still prove effective on smaller drives, or on PCs with a relatively small amount of files, the beauty of it being the reduction in time taken to find the file. No more opening multiple folders and waiting for the contents to be displayed, simply specify the file you're looking for and hey presto, there it is.

Once you've found the file you require, it can be launched from within FileTracer, whatever the file type (application, image, video etc). All the familiar Windows options are available through the right-click option (open, delete, rename, send and many others) helping to ensure that time spent finding and editing a file is kept to a minimum.

A file can be searched for using its specific name or its type (.Jpeg, .exe, .pdf etc), and there's a drop down menu for the most common file types. The interface is fully customisable with the ability to assign hot keys to specific tasks, options to alter the search criteria, and a variety of other options to ensure FileTracer operates exactly the way you want it to.
