Daily Download: Find and Run Robot 2.45.01

Considering the cavernous qualities of modern-day hard drives, it’s inevitable that something important is going to get lost. And while Windows’ built-in search can certainly help you comb through your data and eventually find what you’re after, it’s not exactly fast, or efficient. Find and Run Robot is a speedy and (seemingly) simple alternative that will help you find anything on your PC in no time. Install the free program, and it hides in your system tray, waiting for you to hit the Pause/Break key.

Start typing into the search window, and results pop up before you’ve even typed the second letter; they instantly update, the more letters you type. That’s handy if you can’t remember the exact file name. Once you’ve found what you want, you can open the file or launch the program right from the results window. While it all looks and works simply enough, there are a huge amount of options hidden below the surface, and plugins available that add even more functionality. Give Find and Run Robot a try, and you’ll never spend more than a few seconds looking for anything on your PC again.
