Software Tool or Windows function for finding all file of x-type

[BrownZeus]

Hey all,

 

I lost a file on my pc, and I don't remember the file name either. It was my little sister's graduation video. And by lost, I mean the file is somewhere on my multi terabyte clusters of 6-7 hard drives. I know the file is on here somewhere (or at least I hope), just need a better way to sort everything.

 

Any softwares or in built windows function to help me just scan all my disks for a file type and then dig through the results?

Ok, so did you index all of your drives and are they fast HDDs ?

If so, just search for it with explorer while selecting "this pc" using the filter *.(extension here). And wait. I know this won't be that helpful but is the only way I know. Sorry.

Something is better than nothing!

You could print all files into text file and use search there. But if the drives are indexed, just using Windows search should do wonders.
