Developer’s Description

By Daanav Softwares
Locate a file from application window.
File Locator software utility allows you to locate a file from application window in Windows Explorer. There are no configurable settings in this File Locator Utility. This Utility registers a global keyboard shortcut automatically depending on availability and displays its name in the main window of the software. You can minimize this application to your taskbar and use it as and when required. This can be useful when you receive popup windows and you cannot find from where they are coming. It reads Mouse Cursor Location and tries to find out Window just beneath the window. When File Locator has found a Window, it then tries to get the file path and finally it opens up the file automatically selected in Windows Explorer.
