FileLocator Lite 2010
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
32 and 64 bit systems
What is it? It’s a free, super-fast search engine for Windows
File size – approx 3MB (depending on the version)
Windows’ search feature isn’t so hot. In fact, it’s downright aggravating to use. It consumes huge amounts of your computer’s resources, sometimes to the point of causing problems with running programs – and making your computer run like a bogged-down marsh turtle. The Windows 7’s search feature is little faster, but still consumes an inordinate amount of your computer’s precious resources.
An expert computer user will keep his or her computer resources optimized as much as possible. Why? Because you can never have enough money or resources. You should always have plenty of resources available so you can do what you want when you want. But on XP and Vista if you’re searching for a file, sometimes you can’t really do much else while the search is running – well you can but your computer will seem sluggish. On Windows 7, there’s a little less drag and it’s faster but still you can feel the system slow a bit.
And — Windows search doesn’t always find what you’re looking for…right? Isn’t that the point of searching — to find? All of us from time to time need to find a certain file – or files – that we need to locate and can’t remember where the heck we put them. You can use Windows search and suffer through the slow, resource-hogging process. And still Windows search may find nothing. So you’ve wasted time and resources on — nothing.
Our freeware pick today is called FileLocator Lite 2010. And while the name indicates it’s two-years old, that doesn’t prevent us from featuring it. So what if it’s called 2010? Widows 7 is older than that!
FileLocator Lite 2010 is very easy on resources – in fact you can carry on with your normal activities and you’ll not even notice it is running in the background. And more importantly — if finds what you’re looking for.
FileLocator Lite 2010 is exactly the same program as Agent Ransack with a different name. We chose this version because the name is more descriptive and we felt better about something named FileLocater than Agent Ransack – but they’re exactly the same program. Really they are.
It’s time to bring in the developer and let him tell you about his program.
