Get Organized: File Management Tools
27 Jul, 2010, 3:38 pm IST | Sandeep Balachandran
Find organizing your data too taxing? Here’s a list of applications that will definitely make the process much easier.

Managing files and folders is not only limited to your shelves or drawers but in fact plays a very important role in the digital world. Data or files scattered on your hard drive will definitely have you pulling your hair when the need arises. In addition to this most of us also have the tendency to save the same files over and over again in different locations thereby increasing redundancy. This in fact adds up to space being unnecessarily consumed by files that are actually not required. Honestly speaking you wouldn’t know as to how much space you could actually recover, but that would require you to go through the contents of every folder. Renaming Batch Files Renaming multiple files can be a real pain especially when you have a handful of them to rename. For those of you who are avid photographers would actually know the amount of effort that goes into renaming multiple files. Now as the name suggests Batch File Rename is not only a renaming tool but in fact it does much more. There are a list of options that you can add which include Space, Date/Time, Path name and even Text. In addition to this you can also choose to remove spaces, text and numbers. All in all, this little tool is highly customizable and it’s totally free. File Searching Tools When it comes to searching for files on your PC there is absolutely nothing that can go up against Google’s Desktop Search. It seamlessly indexes files in the background once the machine is idle. Anything and everything can be indexed while a few selected file types can also be disabled. The option of excluding certain files, folders or drives is also thrown in. Searching for a particular file cannot get easier than this. Simply type the file name in the search bar and you will find it in seconds. There is absolutely nothing beyond this marvelous search tool. File Organizing Tools There are a whole list of organizers such as Picasa for photo management, Beyond Compare for analyzing/comparing the contents of two different folders/text/data/picture etc. For music (and probably a few videos) management there is always iTunes and Windows' own Media Player (preferably Media Player 11). Last but not the least is the Directory List and Print. This fine little program allows you to scan directories and displays the final result either in Excel format or Word thereby giving you a very straightforward and simple view the folder contents. If you have any more suggestions, we'd love to hear them. |
