Find file by name

With thousands of files and directories to view, finding a particular file in a tree display can be difficult. The Find file by name option makes finding the file you need much easier. This option is modeled after some of the most popular Windows programs by viewing in the directory tree display, making it very easy to use.

If you are looking for files with a specific name, you can enter a character string, either with or without using Match Case or Whole Word. Data Recovery Wizard Professional will guide you to visit each file which matches what you enter until you find what you want. And this function won't lose the file tree structure.
