Disk Recon

If you are a Windows user and you want to look for a file or a folder, you will find that the Windows search tool is very limited and doesn't offer the options you want for finding a certain file or file type. Instead, you could use Disk Recon, a Windows application which allows you to find files using various search criteria and conditions.

After installing and running the program, you will notice that all the application's options are organized in several tabs. Disk Recon includes more features than just finding files. For example, you can view folder sizes using the program, which is not possible when using Windows Explorer. What's more, you can find duplicate files and you can remove them, which can help you save a lot of hard disk space.

Another useful feature included in Disk Recon is the possibility of monitoring file and folder operations. This allows you to see which files are being copied or moved from a partition to another or which folders are being changed in real time. This feature is useful in case of a hacker or virus attack, as you can see which files have been created by the virus.

In case you are an advanced computer user, you can take advantage of the regular expression feature, which allows you to look for files or folders using regular expressions, thus giving you more flexibility over the search process.
