Fast File Finder Pros and Cons
Screenshots
Fast File Finder is an application developed by Autosoft, a well-known software developer. According to the company, the application "provides the user with an easy way to manage, search and share files on the web." In other words, it enables the user to search for any kind of file in the internet using a single interface. The application can be used as a shareware or freeware. But, according to the legal website of Autosoft, "the product may not be distributed, resold, copied or publicly displayed" if the following conditions are met: the product is sold for free, the product has no virus, spyware or adware; and the product is made available to end-users for their own personal use. If any of these conditions are met, then Autosoft could be in violation of the copyright laws.
Your Fast File Finder from Autosoft 1.0, however, will only begin to load as soon as you save your work on the computer. If it doesn't, click the "download now" link on the left-hand side of the screen. Autosoft also warns against trying to remove the Fast File Finder application from your system, because it could delete or move critical file types that are necessary parts of other programs to run. For instance, the context menu of the Windows Explorer could be damaged if Fast File Finder is using to open and edit the contents of the C drive. If this were the case, the integrity of your important data could be at risk.
In conclusion, although the Fast File Finder application is relatively easy to use, it should be used with caution. While it will find certain file types, it has the tendency to discard or ignore other file extensions that are common with Windows. And although it has the ability to search files of certain file types, it has the tendency to disregard files that are rarely used, such as registry keys. It also has the tendency to open and search files of different context menus, which could cause problems for other programs that use the same context menu for their searches.
