The most useful piece of software I own
velocity37- Pros
- FAST! Can handle quite a large database. I'm currently indexing over half a million files and searches are still near-instant. I don't know how I'd find anything without it.
- Cons
- Searches can be a pain if you have files that use characters other than space to separate words. To find "I_Love_Rick_Astley.jpg" you would have to search "*Rick?Astley*", but "Rick Astley" would work if spaces were used instead of underscores.
- Summary
- There are plenty of features that can be enabled to suit your archival needs. It can scan compressed archives and index their contents, for instance, or this feature can be disabled if it's unnecessarily slowing down your disc scanning. You can also assign specific files/folders/discs to categories to easily find specific types of things. You can also comment on any file, which can also be searched. This can be extremely helpful if you've accidentally misnamed a file and don't want to burn another disc. If you archive your data to writable media and need to find stuff with ease, this is the product for you!
Excelent File Organizer, fast and without problems !
HWHB- Pros
- It costs the same as Wincatalog 2009, but really complies with all the features that Wincatalog 2009 only offers, and does it without wasted time, without crashes and other nightmares.
- Cons
- Have not found any so far

Best file organizer I've found on Download.com
- Pros
- This software allows searching for files within subfolders and then lets sort and export the list of the results to a text file. Amazing!!!
- Cons
- None!!! An absolutely professional product. Highly recommended to try it if you want to create lists of files found on the computer disks.
- Summary
- Advanced File Organizer was able to accomplish the task of locating specific files within subfolders of a particular folder on a disk, then have the results sorted by numerous specific aspects, and export the list to a file, such as an HTML with additional options. Simply something I couldn't find in Windows Explorer.
Best media and file indexer.

- Cons
- None!

Great program, tough registration process
reivewer07- Pros
- Scans all drives, CD's, DVD's, collects information about all files, not only music and videos. Great for keeping a database of all your files in order and in once place. Very intutitive, easy to use, very stable.
- Cons
- I've purchased a full version of this program and found registration not friendly at all. It rejected all web-based (non-POP) email addresses, stating "This e-mail address is anonymous. Enter another one". I think that's crazy. If I'm giving you my money, take it or get lost! Also, after the system finally accepted my e-mail and payment, I've received a "Thank you" e-mail, promising to send my registration key "Within 1 business day". At the end of the next business day nothing arrived. I've sent them two more e-mails and finally got my registration key. I think there are much more efficient, faster ways to handle shareware purchases. Some people don't know how to take money that's being given them...

I love this program!!!
- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- A brilliant program I have now used for 6 months or so. Incredible speed in cataloging and searching. Can set up misc. categories mixing CD's, hard drive and other files. Doing a search for a single phrase on a fairly fast XP Windows system of more than a 100 gig took about 3 seconds to gather up as many as a hundred different items. This items can then be opened from the program or application launched.
Crashed on three different computers I tried the FULL version on

Developer’s Description
Advanced File Organizer is a cataloguer for your digital data collection. It supports all kinds of media recognized by Windows as drives: CDs, DVDs, Memory Stick cards, ZIP disks, floppies, hard drives, network drives and folders. The key point is an ability to organize the information for most effective using it later, including convenient navigation, quick and powerful search, making reports and export to other formats. Advanced File Organizer gives several tools to organize your data: you can simply add searchable comments for your files and folders; you can combine disks and folders into groups based on any feature you want; at last you can sort your data by categories and subcategories. Using all or any of these instruments you have a unique chance to sort and optimize your data in various ways as it is convenient personally for you without paying any attention to the physical location of files and folders.
Version 3 adds new visual mode of categories setting (using Drag'n'Drop) called Visual Category Assistant.
