I've been using Everything for quite a while now and it finally gives me what I have needed for years. There is a newer version that is not released yet (alpha? beta?) that also has the ability to search within files. You can also put the file type selection as a drop-down at the right of the search box. I love this tool!!!

after windows xp, the ship started sinking and bloating - every day is a Linux day closer

@johnwesley256 Месяц назад

I think the final version of Win 7 was the only win OS better than XP. Only problem is that if you have new computer you won't be able to find drivers.

@oldschoolel Месяц назад

I began dual-booting out of lack of confidence. Now, I am debating just taking Windows off the machine altogether. The bloatware that waste system resources and Copilot (which reinstalls no matter what I do) with every update makes me think Microsoft uses more of my machine than I do.

It is worth mentioning that some antivirus/security software identify password revealing tools as "hacktools" and automatically delete/quarantine them. This is usual, for example, in corporate laptops where you are not free to manage the antivirus exceptions yourself.

@NeuroBe Месяц назад

First two tools can be replaced by Wiztree, also free. It is very fast as it reads the MFT for local disks, doesn't iterate through subfolders. It can show tree view, graphical view, list of all files (to search), list files by extension (eg to find out movies or .log are taking up too much space) etc
