Like the Linux "locate" and "updatedb", "winlocate" is a very simple solution for finding files and folders in a windows environment system. All is done by using 2 scripts (.BAT), some GNU tools and Sqlite3. I hope you will enjoy this release.

Features

  • Easily index all your system storage devices and then quickly search files/folders in the database
  • Is much easy than using Windows Vista/7 search engines.
