I am sure I am a very late adopter of this particular piece of software but for anybody who hasn't tried it yet I can't recommend it strongly enough. Google also provide a similar desktop search engine so I would be interested to hear how the two compare. It is a search engine that indexes your desktop so you can then search the content of your files (find all files that contain the word "moodle", for example). If you then press on a file in your search results you get a summary in the window below showing the part of the file containing the character string, which is particularly useful.
Copernic desktop search engine
I use Google desktop, and I find all sorts of files that I had forgotten existed in my computer. I heartily recommend it. It does not use much memory and the spider only starts crawling around my hard disk when I am not using the computer. It also integrates with the moodle search bar that I use for searching the web, blocking popups, blogging via the blogger link, and searching inside pages.
Windows Longhorn was also planning to bring out that sort of functionality and they had already started advertising with the merit of being able to find things from way back, but Copernic and Google beat them to it and for free.
