WhereIsIt is a piece of software that allows the user to create a categorized catalog of files and drives.
The application focuses on providing the user with an organized list or catalog, of the available and unavailable media files, consisting not only of information from your PCs hard drive, but also of remote file servers, CD’s, DVD’s and removable disks.

It’s a customizable and practical program, which allows you to create and work with more than one catalog at a time, these catalogs can handle any kind of information, from backup files to videos, and text documents, finally, and most important of all, is the capability WhereIsIt has to maintain organized a great number of disks and files per catalog, making of it a valuable tool for any company.

One of the strong points of the program is the number of plugins made available, and the multilingual capacity of the software, you can download and choose from lots of language files in order to make you feel more comfortable when using the application.

Plus, it’s highly customizable, not only thanks to the plugins, but also because it allows you to customize the font, toolbar, interface settings in general, colors, manage the size of the icons, you are also able to add description to the folders and drives, plus it features a catalog setup, and if you find these a bit too confusing, WhereIsIt includes a setup wizard to help you through the setup process. It truly is a unique program, it proves to be quite worthy as an organizer and file cataloger.

I generally point out the lack of an attractive interface as a detractor, but in this particular case, this is superfluous and unimportant since the features and potential make of WhereIsIt a 5 point program.

Since it seems orphaned, it'd be nice if they post the source to Github so maybe the project could be brought back to life. I've had a registered copy for years but an interface upgrade would be nice. I got it when I had Windows95 and now on Windows 11.

PJDude, nice work bro, but look at the clean and beautiful WhereIsIt interface which is important if you use it often. Even "successors" like WinCatalog aren't just comparable on that matter.

I've been using WhereIsIt for at least 12 years & it is awesome at its primary mission of allowing you to search your files & folders on media that aren't physically connected or present. This is truly a great program & it is hard to imagine why this isn't maintained or updated any longer (at least since 2014) since it's such an awesome product w/ fantastic reviews across many sites.

Would you know where I could find the binaries? I have my license, but due to upgrades I've lost the program files.

FYI, I just wonder... Why did you bother to write anyway?! Care to share what did you find? Nobody cares if you just sharing the fact you have found something, other people are searching for, without posting it here. So stupid when people do so...
