I use a program called, Everything which is excellent at finding things on
your computer.
It's free and you can download it from:

Subject: Dream App, Find command
How about an app to replace the Find command in Windows? Since there's no
decent database program, as Butch pointed out, I use Notepad text
documents and the folders and subfolders structure of Windows as my
databases for music, movies, books, etc. I use the Windows Find command
to search this makeshift database. I am using XP, so I don't know if this
has improved any or not; but the Windows Find dialog that comes up is very
cumbersome and takes several screens to go through and tabbing through
several items repeatedly to get to the spot where to just tell the system
what I want to look for. A nice straight forward Find command would be
great. The Find dialog in Notepad and Wordpad are simple and easy to use.
The Find dialog in MS Word is easy enough too, although you can't just F3
to the next occurance of the found text like you can in Notepad. Why
can't a Find dialog for Windows and searching your hard drive or some
subfolders on it be straight forward?
TTFNm,
Marilyn
