Windows only: Free search utility Locate32 uses Unix-style databases and locate commands to find files by name, size, creation dates, or any other system criteria.

You can set oft-searched presets, run the whole thing from a thumb drive, and perform any of your normal right-click context commands on the files Locate32 finds. Locate32 is a free download for Windows 98 and later systems. Thanks, Chris! Locate32
