Here are some of the many cool things you can do with RecentX:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Effortlessly access any file, folder or program on Windows in less than 5 seconds!<\/li>\n<li>Assign tags to frequently used files\/folders. Makes things even faster.<\/li>\n<li>Integrates with Windows File open\/save window so that you don&#8217;t have to navigate any folder when opening or saving a document.<\/li>\n<li>It has a clipboard manager too that remembers all the text &#038; pictures copied to a clipboard so that you can quickly pick &#038; paste them again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"218\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/10\/RecentX.png\" alt=\"\"title=\"RecentX\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4266\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Let us look at some of the <strong>unique features of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/RecentX\">RecentX<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<li><strong>Tag files and folders in Windows:<\/strong> None or rarely any file launching program would provide this feature. But RecentX lets you tag any file or folder in Windows. These tags let you categorize files, folders, apps &#038; websites based on categories, file types, projects, etc. This feature comes very handy if you often find yourself opening the same set of folders each day for a particular project.\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" style=\"border:1px solid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-Tags-Window-1.png\" alt=\"Tags-Window\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-Tags-Window-1.png 450w, https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-Tags-Window-1-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Say, you have a file, &#8220;Orders&#8221;, which you update every day. You don&#8217;t have to go to the file location repeatedly to access it. Tag the file as anything you want. Ex: docs, important, or just anything of your choice. So the next time you want to open it, type the tag in the RecentX search window, and a list of all files with the mentioned tag will appear. Only a single click, and your file will open instantly.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these regular tags, we even have smart tags. Smart Tags in RecentX let you save keywords that you frequently use to search your files. Ex: &#8220;.pdf&#8221; for your PDF files.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" style=\"border:1px solid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-Smart-Tag-Window.png\" alt=\"Smart-Tag-Window\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-Smart-Tag-Window.png 450w, https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Screenshot-Smart-Tag-Window-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It, therefore, helps you avoid multiple folder navigation.<\/p>\n<p>This short video will give you more clarity:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Windows: Tagging files, folders, programs, websites &amp; clipboard history using RecentX\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PlEEEfafahE?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about tags from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/RecentX\/Help#Tagging-Files-On-Windows\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Index files, folders, programs, and website history:<\/strong> You would have heard of indexing files and folders. RecentX, by default, also indexes Internet bookmarks and history along with files, folders and, programs from all your local drives. You can add or remove any other drive from a remote location too. Now quickly search and effortlessly launch any file or folder.\n<p>What is unique about RecentX is that it indexes programs (.exe) from your complete hard drive. This means you can find and launch any application (.exe) such as portable apps and utilities that don&#8217;t even have shortcuts inside the Windows start menu.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"435\" height=\"462\" style=\"border:1px solid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Preferences-Indexing-Tab.png\" alt=\"Preferences-Indexing-Tab\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Preferences-Indexing-Tab.png 435w, https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Preferences-Indexing-Tab-282x300.png 282w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/p>\n<li><strong>Search and access website history &#038; bookmarks of all major browsers:<\/strong> Normally we don&#8217;t remember the particular website we browsed to find specific content. RecentX serves as a log that you can access to check which websites you browsed so that you can re-visit them quickly. It doesn&#8217;t matter how long it&#8217;s been since you accessed the site. You can find it even after 1 month or 3 months or 6 months using RecentX.\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"416\" style=\"border:1px solid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screenshot_Internet_History_Bookmark_Launcher.png\" alt=\"Internet History Bookmark\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screenshot_Internet_History_Bookmark_Launcher.png 550w, https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screenshot_Internet_History_Bookmark_Launcher-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RecentX lets you access website history &#038; bookmarks from major browsers- Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi Browser, and Internet Explorer on Windows.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: To find and launch a website faster, you can even create and use tags. <\/li>\n<p>This short video will give you more clarity on this:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Windows: Sync &amp; access bookmarks and history from all major browsers using RecentX\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TLrwEtNBzGM?start=12&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<li><strong>Open a website in any browser:<\/strong> Since RecentX shows websites &#038; bookmarks from all major browsers, you can also open them in any browser of your choice &#8211; Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Vivaldi browser.

Just drag and drop the file from RecentX on to your email client window such as Gmail, Outlook, etc.\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"416\" style=\"border:1px solid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Animation-Quickly-Attach-File-To-Email.png\" alt=\"Attach File To Email\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Animation-Quickly-Attach-File-To-Email.png 550w, https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Animation-Quickly-Attach-File-To-Email-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can, therefore, compose emails with standard replies or those which you regularly send, like daily. \t<\/li>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a short video to understand this better:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Windows: Compose emails with standard replies and attach files using RecentX\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LvAjdwIfWS0?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<li><strong>Select a file faster in the file open\/save window:<\/strong> The file open\/save dialog window that is shown by all Windows applications is very tedious to use. RecentX makes it very easy to select any file in this window. When the &#8216;File open\/save&#8217; window opens, find &#038; select the file using RecentX. The file name will be automatically displayed in the File Open\/Save window, after which you just need to click on &#8220;Open.&#8221; That\u2019s it. <\/li>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"416\" style=\"border:1px solid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Animation_File_Open.gif\" alt=\"File Open Save\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4419\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Other handy features of RecentX<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/RecentX\">RecentX<\/a> does many other small yet very helpful things for you. <\/p>\n<li><strong>Quick access using the sidebar:<\/strong> RecentX file launcher can be easily accessed using a convenient desktop sidebar. You don&#8217;t have to search for it when you want to search for anything on your system urgently. With a single click, you can go to any category (Files, Folders, Programs, or Websites). RecentX Launcher can also be accessed using hotkeys.<\/li>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"416\" style=\"border:1px solid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Animation_Screenshot_Sidebar.gif\" alt=\"Sidebar\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4434\" \/><\/p>\n<li><strong>Finds in recent items first:<\/strong> Most often we open the same files &#038; folders again and again. For this very reason, RecentX Launcher, instead of listing down all the files and folders on your system, lists down just the recently accessed files and folders. This saves a lot of time compared to searching the complete hard drive. This makes launching easier now that important items are shown before other trivial items. <\/li>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"416\" style=\"border:1px solid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Find_In_All_Files.png\" alt=\"Find In All Files\"  class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Find_In_All_Files.png 550w, https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Find_In_All_Files-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Note: Alternatively, you can even search in all items instead of the recent ones.<\/p>\n<li><strong>Conveniently access clipboard history:<\/strong> RecentX remembers all the text &#038; images that you copy to the clipboard. It keeps track of items as old as 6 months to a year and as new as something copied an hour back or a day back. Just pick them directly from RecentX when needed, instead of copy-pasting the same things repeatedly. This is simple and a real time saver. What more? You can even tag the clipboard history items to access them faster the next time. <\/li>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"416\" style=\"border:1px solid\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screenshot_Clipboard.png\" alt=\"Clipboard\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screenshot_Clipboard.png 550w, https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screenshot_Clipboard-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Watch this short video to find out what more you can do with the Clipboard History Manager:<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Windows: Reuse items copied to clipboard using RecentX clipboard history manager\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e_yhNXRTeK4?start=7&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<li><strong>RecentX window always on top:<\/strong> You can also enable your RecentX window to always stay on top of your desktop when using it.
