几周前，我们下载了一个名为Windows File Analyzer的^{(Windows File Analyzer)}Windows免费软件，因为从我们的角度来看，至少可以这么说，它听起来相当有趣。我们试了一下，可以肯定地说它确实值得您花时间，所以让我们解释一下。据开发商介绍，

“This application decodes and analyzes some special files used by Windows OS. In these files is interesting information for forensic analysis. Every analysis results can be printed in a user-friendly form.”

我们喜欢这样一个事实，即完成取证分析，用户可以打印结果。好消息是，结果以用户友好的方式显示在打印机关注的地方。因此，当它出现在纸上时，一切看起来都很好。

Windows 文件分析器

分析后收集的数据非常有用，那么我们来谈谈如何使用Windows 文件分析器^{(Windows File Analyzer)}，好吗？它会帮助你——

1. 分析缩略图数据库
2. 分析预取
3. 分析快捷方式
4. 分析索引
5. 分析回收站。

1]分析缩略图数据库

当涉及到收集缩略图数据库文件的数据时，用户只需单击文件^(File)，然后将鼠标光标悬停在分析缩略图数据库^{(Analyze Thumbnail Database)}上。从那里，人们可以选择操作系统或支持的应用程序来获取所需的数据。

现在，您必须知道缩略图数据库的位置才能获得所需的信息。一旦整理好，一切都会出现在屏幕上。

2]分析预取

我们这里有一个功能，可以读取存储在Prefetch 文件夹中的所有文件。只需^(Simply)单击File，然后选择Analyze Prefetch即可完成工作，一切顺利。它将在那里挖掘所有商店信息，供您观赏。

请记住^(Bear)，对于某些机器，预取是禁用的，因此您必须启用它才能从服务中获得任何东西。

3]分析快捷方式

选择此服务将打开一个窗口，其中包含一个名为“Recent Items ”的文件夹。选择它，然后点击 OK 按钮，然后从那里选择所选操作系统并点击 OK 按钮以获取所有甜美多汁的信息。

根据您计算机上快捷方式的数量，您将收到一长串信息。无法自动搜索它们，因此，您别无选择，只能滚动浏览并使用您的眼睛。

4]分析索引.DAT

对于那些可能不知道Index.DAT 文件中的内容的人来说，它通常存储来自 Internet Explorer cookie、临时文件或历史记录的数据。来自Microsoft Edge的数据也在这里，这很棒。

按照与上述相同的步骤，然后单击Analyze Index.DAT，然后单击Open。最后，按照我们提供的这些步骤找到Index.dat，然后将其添加到Windows File Analyzer以获得您需要的数据。

5]分析回收站

是的，回收站是我们删除的所有垃圾所在的位置。如果需要，这些垃圾文件可以恢复到它们以前的目的地，或者从系统中 100% 删除。

再次，按照上面的步骤，然后选择分析回收站^{(Analyze Recycle Bin)}，然后点击打开^(Open)。找到回收站^{(Recycle Bin)}文件并将其添加到应用程序中，因为这是数据使自己可用的唯一方法。

它是一个非常有用的工具，您可以通过官方网站下载^{(official website)}Windows 文件分析器^{(Windows File Analyzer)}。

Windows File Analyzer helps you decode and analyze special OS files

A few weeks ago we downloaded a Windows freeware known as Windows File Analyzer because from our point of view, it sounded rather interesting, to say the least. We took it for a spin and can say for certain that it is indeed worth your time, so let’s explain. According to the developers,

“This application decodes and analyzes some special files used by Windows OS. In these files is interesting information for forensic analysis. Every analysis results can be printed in a user-friendly form.”

We like the fact that one the forensic analysis is done, the user can print the results. The good news is, the results are shown in a user-friendly from where printers are concerned. Therefore, when it comes out on paper everything should look just fine.

Windows File Analyzer

The data collected after an analysis is very useful, so let’s talk about how to use Windows File Analyzer, shall we? It will help you-

1. Analyze Thumbnail Database
2. Analyze Prefetch
3. Analyze Shortcuts
4. Analyze Index.DAT
5. Analyze Recycle Bin.

1] Analyze Thumbnail Database

When it comes down to collecting data on the Thumbnail database files, the user only needs to click on File, then hover the mouse cursor over Analyze Thumbnail Database. From there, folks can choose the operating system or the supported apps to get the data required.

Now, you’ll have to know the location of the thumbnail database to get the information you need. Once that is sorted out, everything will show up on screen.

2] Analyze Prefetch

What we have here is a feature that reads all the files stored in the Prefetch folder. Simply click on File, then select Analyze Prefetch to get the job done and you’re good to go. It will dig out all the store information there for your viewing pleasure.

Bear in mind that for some machine, prefetch is disabled, so you’ll have to enable it to gain anything from the service.

3] Analyze Shortcuts

Selecting this service will open a window with a folder known as Recent Items. Select it, then hit the OK button, and from there, choose the operating system of choice and hit the OK button to get all that sweet and juicy info.

Depending on the number of shortcuts on your computer, you’ll be subjected to a long list of information. There’s no way to search through them automatically, so as it stands, you’ll have no choice but to scroll through and use your eyes.

4] Analyze Index.DAT

For those who might be unaware of what’s inside of the Index.DAT file, well, it usually stores data from Internet Explorer cookies, temporary files or history. Data from Microsoft Edge is here as well, and that’s great.

Follow the same step as above, then click on Analyze Index.DAT, and hit Open. Finally, follow these steps from us to locate Index.dat, then add it to Windows File Analyzer to gain the data you need.

5] Analyze Recycle Bin

Yes, the Recycle Bin is where all the garbage we’ve deleted is located. If you want, these garbage files can be restored to their former destinations, or be 100% removed from the system.

Again, follow the steps from above, then select Analyze Recycle Bin, and hit Open. Find the Recycle Bin file and add it to the app, for that’s the only way the data will make itself available.

It is quite a useful tool, and you can download Windows File Analyzer via the official website.
