File Investigator

This no-frills program offers some welcome twists when it comes to searching for files, and you'll be impressed with its results if not with its plain design. File Investigator's tabbed interface and simple check boxes and fields shouldn't present any problems, even for the novice user. You'll find the standard methods for searching by name, location, attributes, and date modified, but the Content tab lets you select additional parameters not found in the standard search tool. Pull-down menus offer a wide array of choices for file type, storage method, content, and accuracy, options we like. Results are displayed with filename and extension, location, and description. You can select a file to view useful Properties information, including creation and modification dates. Any user who wants more than the standard search tool offers will be impressed by File Investigator's simplicity and functionality.
