I have a secret that is no longer going to be so after this post.  If you are a PC user, your desktop administration life is about to get wayyyyy easier.  For over two years I’ve been using a program that literally allows me to forget about where and when I put all of my files on my computer -even what I named them!  It’s called Copernic Desktop Search, it’s a dream, and it’s one of the flagship software programs found at Copernic.com:

Copernic Desktop Search

Quite frankly, it’s amazing.  I’ve tried a number of “desktop search” engines over the years and honestly -NOTHING compares to the power and simplicity of the Copernic Desktop Search Engine.  Did I say NOTHINGYes, it’s true…
NOTHING I’ve found, whether freeware, open-source, payware, or otherwise, compares to the power of file management and search capabilities that this piece of software provides me.

Here’s the best thing about it.. It’s free for Home and Non-Commercial use.   Although the free version is a somewhat tamer version of the professional (@ $49.95 U.S. ) it is nonetheless amazing and there are not any nag screens or lack of useful features.

Copernic’s interface is totally useful, and easily allows you to find all of the files you work with on a daily basis: Word, Excel, Docs, PowerPoints, PDFs, HTML, Word Perfect, Text Files, Zip Files, music, videos, pictures, etc.  In addition, it will locate email attachments as well as index the words of all of your email (and all other supported file types) on your computer if you use Outlook, Express, Eudora or any of the Mozilla clients.
