It’s frustrating isn’t it when you can’t find that file? When you’ve searched every folder imaginable on your computer, and somehow it got lost….or worse, deleted. Now, there are excellent search tools for Windows that allow you to find your files, but they only work if you know the name of the file.

Here at Lifehacker, we've often encouraged switching up your working environment tospark creativity and prevent burnout.
