Everything

Get Everything (and faster). Everything is a super-fast desktop file-search that integrates in your right click context menu. What makes Everything better is that it is able to bypass Windows on your desktop or laptop when searching which makes it faster to find your files because it does not scan the hard drive. Everything uses the raw Master File Table for NTFS drives, which logs all changes made on the partition and gets straight to the files you want faster and with stability.

Free Opener

One of the most frustrating things about computing is you need to open different programs to view this or that file. Imagine just wanting a peek at a file and you have to launch a large application to do it. But it’s even worse if you don’t have the program to open a particular file. That is where Free Opener becomes indispensable. It is a program designed to open a large variety of files. The software is tasked with a single purpose: view different files. You don’t have to open the format’s associated program just to view it.
