WhereIsIt is an application written for Windows operating systems, and designed to help you maintain and organize a catalog of your computer media collection, including CD-ROMs, audio CDs, diskettes, removable drives, hard drives, network drives, DVDs, or any other present or future storage media Windows can access as a drive.
The primary goal for WhereIsIt is to provide access to the contents of cataloged disks, even when they are not available on the system, or even not your own.
WhereIsIt can be used to handle any kind of data, including downloaded programs, magazine CD-ROMs, music collections like MP3s or audio CDs, graphics collections, document backups, etc. WhereIsIt can handle lots of them, too, a couple hundreds or thousands disks in a catalog is nothing unusual, yet catalogs remain reasonably small, single-filed and easy to transfer or send to other users. You can also create more than one catalog, and at any time open and work with as many catalogs at once as needed.
WhereIsIt is easy to use for both beginners and advanced users. It features a familiar and well thought-out, Explorer-like user interface, combined with strong searching and reporting capabilities, massive archive file support (zip, arj, rar, ace, cab, lha/lzh, arc, tar, gzip, z, sfx, and others that can be presented in catalog as virtual folders), multi-language support, automated description and thumbnails importing through extendable plugins from more than 70 different sources, and much more.
How do I purchase the program? I am a personal user
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.

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.
William, I found them. Never mind. :-)
