I don't know if you are like me, but I am always searching for that specific code I wrote over the years, but cannot find it. It was way too exhausting to look at 1k+ scripts. And Windows Explorer is not the best tool to do such exploration. So I made this little script that save me tons of time. Hope you will find it useful too. You can adjust default search folders and type of files you want to search for, but you can also change it at runtime. To use multiple filters separate them with ";" Let me know if you have any suggestion to enhance the tool.
