Title: Deep file search code
Post by: Petrus Vorster on September 14, 2014, 04:35:59 PM

hi

I am many times in need to find files in Win 7 & 8 that somehow never appears in the Windows "find" above the start button.
Usually its hidden in %appdata/roaming..... or some obscure hidden location, which takes loads of time to find.

Has anyone here written some code that one can use to find a file on a pc without using the useless Microsoft search?

I use EVERYTHING (by http://www.voidtools.com/)

It's free, and includes an SDK... keeps a real-time index in memory, available from the system tray...

AND FAST!

Darn! It works like a charm and i didn't even have to write a single line.
(Although it might have been pretty useful one day to know how)
