Disadvantages of Windows Explorer

Windows Explorer is not a strong tool for searching for files and folders.

• It makes you constantly go up and down its hierarchy of folders in search of that one file.
• You're not able to easily save your searches as an archive.
• It's not able to easy annotate your searches, and
• It's not being able to send someone else your file structure.

Our programs enable you to copy the contents of Windows Explorer into Excel or into another table - not just one folder's content, but all of their subfolders and their subfolders files.

This enables you to get a comprehensive workbook which you can then:

• Search and filter using familiar Excel tools (for Filecats Standard and Filecats Professional).
• Annotate more easily, by adding additional columns (Filecats Standard and Filecats Professional),
• Open files from within the spreadsheet or table, allowing a easier link between the spreadsheet and your files, and
• Copy and paste them into other applications,
• Save the results of your searches, allowing you to create a snapshot of your folders, and
• Email them to whomever you want, allowing distribution and dissemination.
