When it comes to information on a computer, many people are better organized, more logical and manage their information better than I do. However, what I lack in those particular personal characteristics, I compensate with an amazing toolbox of search tools.
When I can’t find something on my computer, I use one, many or all of these tools in my search arsenal:
- WIN Search
- File Explorer
- Xplorer2
- Google labels
- Google search (in my gmail)
- XYplorer
- Directory Opus
- RecentX
- EVERYTHING (the “sledgehammer”) never fails me and the last resort)
Yes, I have that many search tools. Kind of gives you a little glimpse either of my filing skills and my grey matter. However, it may take me some time to find something, after all when you have more than a half dozen tools at hand, just touching each one takes time.
The moral of the story is “I can find anything on my computer”….just give me time…and a scotch!
(I recommend ‘EVERYTHING,’ sometimes called, ‘Search Everything.’
