It is important to keep your files well organized and this is why you can find many file managers on the Internet. Most of these applications share the same problem. When you launch them for the first time, you will be overwhelmed by the number of options they provide and you will have no idea how to use them. Taggtool brings a new approach to file management. It lets you tag your data, on its interface or on a standard explorer window and you can search for your files, using their tags. After performing a search, all files, associated with the same tags, will be listed instantly.

The software requires Java Runtime Environment to run correctly. If it is not present on your computer, the setup wizard will take you directly to a download page, on your web browser. Once you install it, you may proceed to the wizard's next steps, which are very straightforward.

On Taggtool's interface, you can explore your folders and tag them, see your recently accessed files, create and manage backups, view your tags library and of course, search for specific files. While exploring your folders, you may select one or more files and tag them by typing keywords on the right side of the interface. It is also possible to add an alias, description or rating for the files, in the same area. Websites can be tagged as well. Just click an option on the toolbar and paste the site's URL.

Using the interface is not difficult, but there is a much easier way to tag and find your files. The software integrates with the Windows shell, adding a new context menu option. You can tag files, while using Windows Explorer, just by right clicking them and selecting the new option. A small window will pop up, where you will find the same fields and options for associating tags.

While the program is running, a search query will be available on the upper edge of the screen, but you can move it anywhere you want. If you need to find something fast, just type one or more tags and the software will find it instantly. The results are displayed on a new window, where they are organized in a tree structure. Files, folders, PDF documents, pictures and web sites are placed in separate categories. Tagging web sites is even easier. All you have to do is click and drag its URL from the browser to the search query and type your keywords.

Pros

Using the application's main interface is not mandatory. You can tag your files with great ease by using a standard explorer window. Taggtool can find your tagged files instantly and the results are very well organized. The software is very easy to use and it comes with many more features, which can make your work go faster.

Cons

Some features may confuse beginners. Fortunately, they are not part of the core functions. Taggtool takes file management to a whole new level. Instead of moving them from one place to another, in different databases, you can just tag your files and find them instantly.
