DeskRule

If you need to find specific contents on your hard drive quickly, DeskRule can help you. This lightweight utility is highly efficient when it comes to locating data. It works fast and it lets you establish a wide range of rules in a flexible manner. This gives you the possibility of narrowing down your searches to only a few results.

DeskRule works on Windows Vista and all later versions and it is compatible with both 32 and 64-bit variants. Installing the software doesn't take more than a minute and there is no need to set up any kind of prerequisite tools. The hardware requirements are modest, so you can run the program even on older machines.

The user interface has a rather plain design by default, but you can make it more complex, according to your needs. Instead of burdening you with too many controls, the software lets you choose the items you need for a more refined search. To locate a file of any kind, it is sufficient to type in the name of the contents you are looking for and to select a general location, like a folder or a partition.

The software will look for anything with that name you have specified, but you can establish many other rules as well. What makes DeskRule stand out in a crowd is the fact that it is capable of locating files by their properties. For example, you can set the program to look for images with specific resolutions, dimensions, GPS coordinates and so on. The software lets you set up filters for countless properties types and you can also make combinations.

The supported property filters are not limited to images. It is also possible to find documents, music, videos and other file types by their properties. Property filters are listed and categorized on a separate window. Once you select one, options for filtering by that property will show up on the main user interface.
