The Power of RecentX

Like a Swiss army knife, RecentX has several power uses. Yet you will never realize from its simple looks.

This page provides various scenarios where RecentX can be really useful in saving your time, your money, and your energy.

Here they go.

Access recent documents that are several weeks old in less than 5 seconds

RecentX can keep track of hundreds of recent documents, yet, they are extremely simple to access using RecentX.

Unlike the traditional Windows "My Recent Documents" folder, RecentX can remember recent items that are several weeks old.

Hierarchical folders steal our time. We have never realized this until now

Save your valuable time by utilizing RecentX lightning-fast file and folder access. Stop wasting time using outdated and tedious Folder tree navigation and searches.

RecentX makes all this so easy. It will directly take you to the folder. The interesting part is that it automatically tracks the folders you open. You do not have to configure RecentX with the frequently used folders.

Say Buh-Bye to Cluttered Desktop Items

Most of our Windows desktops are so untidy. Although we add a shortcut to the desktop for easy access, soon it becomes so cluttered that it is very difficult to locate a desktop icon.

RecentX comes to rescue. You don't have to click on "Show Desktop" icon and then dig in to the desktop. Just click on the RecentX icon and type the keywords of the file you want to access.

Since RecentX only cares about the files you have already used, you get a short listing of most important files that match the keywords.

Copying files is magical with RecentX

How do you normally copy files? You go to the source folder, select the files, copy them to the clipboard, and then go to the target folder and paste them from the clipboard.

With RecentX, just select the files from a searchable list, copy them to the clipboard, select the folder path from the same list and paste them from the clipboard. Remember, you are not opening any folders here.

Advantage: Single list, Zero navigation, No hierarchy, No delay in launching file managers like Windows Explorer.

Never again navigate through the complex Windows Start menu

We cannot have shortcuts for all the applications that we use in the "Quick Launch" toolbar. Once in a while we are forced to use the Start menu.

The problem is that we forget where a shortcut to a program is placed in the Start menu. And forgetting is natural.

RecentX monitors all the programs that you run and keeps them on top of the list. It makes any program under the Start menu searchable (Find-As-You-Type) from its list. This is much faster than digging in to the Start menu.

Speedy access to remote files & folders

Normally, accessing remote files & folders in Windows is tedious. The "My Network Places" (Network Neighborhood) folder is very slow.

Once you use RecentX to access to recent documents and folders on remote computers, you will be thrilled to realize the burden that it took off from your shoulders.

Access both Internet History and Bookmarks from a single place

Accessing Internet history and online bookmarks (favorites) could never be easier. RecentX tracks history and bookmarks from both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

RecentX is the single place to access both history and online bookmarks in a single searchable list. This is much better than locating a website using a hierarchical menu or tree.

RecentX searches for a keyword in any part of the web page title or address (URL) unlike the above mentioned browsers. This allows us to locate a website by its HTML file name. Hope you realize the potential of this feature.

You will not miss the Windows Explorer "Send To" menu

From within RecentX you can access the dynamic Windows Explorer context menu that appears when you right click on a file or a folder.

So it's possible to compress files, email a recent document, use the powerful "Send To" menu and all other shell extension tools you may have installed on your computer. We love this feature.

Just drag and drop to attach a file to an email

The Windows File open/save dialog is poorly designed. Navigation to different folders is not easy.

Normally, to attach a file to an email, you need to open the Windows File open/save dialog.

But with RecentX, it's much easier. Just drag and drop the file from RecentX to the email window.

The little essential tools

RecentX also allows you to copy file paths, folder paths, website addresses, launch Command Prompt from a folder and launch your favorite file manager from within RecentX.

Normally, without RecentX, you would have to perform several multi-step tasks to copy files, launch Command Prompt from a folder etc.
