If you download a lot from the internet, chances are you have DVDs and possibly hard drives lying around filled with music, movies, games and software lying around.
In such situations, when we finally need a particular movie or software, it can be difficult to remember exactly which DVD or HDD it was saved in.
The best way to avoid such a situation is to catalog all your DVDs using a Catalog software.
The best disc catalog software for Windows, in my opinion, is Cathy.

What these software do is that they index all the files in your disc – save the names of the files and folders.
So the next time you are looking for a particular file or folder, you can do a quick search and find out exactly which disc the particular file was saved in.
e.g the other day I was looking to reinstall open office. So I did a quick search and found out that Open Office was burnt to DVD no 8. So, instead of looking through all the DVDs and HDDs, all I had to do look for DVD no. 8.
Now there is no dearth of Disc Catalog softwares, both free and paid, in the market.
But a common drawback among most of these is that they are bloated with too many unnecessary features, hence making them slow and laggy – especially on slower PCs.
Either their file indexing speed is too low or their searching algorithm is not efficient enough. Or they’re too expensive.
If you are looking for the fastest, cleanest, easiest and totally free software to catalog files and folders in Windows, you can’t go wrong with Cathy.
Do you know use or prefer any other disc catalog software? Feel free to discuss in the comments.
