You know the drill, [M]Lemmings…

I want to share TypingMasterPro cuz it is the program that helped me learn to type 2x over (QWERTY than DVORAK)

Off you go!

    I will forever recommend VoidTools’ Everything ever since someone first introduced it to me some few years ago.

    It indexes your entire filesystem and allows you to search for files by name (and by content for text files!) and even allowing RegEx searching for file names, and filters for certain file types and the like.

      Everything is a godsend, I install it on every Windows machine I use. But it always makes me wonder why Microsoft doesn’t integrate such search features in their own OS.

      I don’t know who down voted you, because Everything is really really good.

      Quick as a nimble, it instantly finds anything on your drives.

      My dear colleague bashed my ears for more than a year about this VoidTools soft before I begrudgingly installed it, lo and behold it’s seriously one of the best tools I have ever stumbled upon.

        At one point the software stopped working on my computer at work. I couldn’t believe how many times I used it throughout the day without realizing it. My only issue is that it can’t search network shares properly.

        It uses an index that really works and doesn’t take ages.

        It’s what search should have been if the windows indexer was written correctly

      I’ve tried this a bunch of times but I don’t really get it tbh.

      What sorts of things do you search for?

      Everything I need is in an organised structure.

        If your shit is organized you probably don’t need to search it. I can see this being useful for finding specific files on an unorganized file system
