ILikeVoltron posted:Can you find the putty.exe executable in any folder on your system through search? I tried, and search could not find it, checking the index, it's there. Doing some research, it seems exe files despite being in the search index, get filtered out by search itself for whatever reason. I guess I never noticed exe files get filtered out because all my programs install shortcuts into the start menu folder, which allows them to be shown by search. I made a shortcut for putty, stuffed it into the start menu folder, and search now shows it as the best match in its results with just pu typed in, weird stuff-nya~

Saukkis posted:It's annoying that search doesn't find them, but Windows probably has a whole lot of .exe files around that you are never supposed to run manually. 563 .exes under C:\Windows\System32\ alone. So it would make sense to only include the ones that have a shortcut. Windows doesn't index files inside the Windows folder, or many places for that matter. The only locations indexed are Internet Explorer History, OneNote, Offline Files, Start Menu, and everything in the Users folder excluding the AppData folders. Also, by default, encrypted files are excluded from the index. To add more locations and add encrypted filed requires you modify the index settings-nya~

Combat Pretzel posted:I guess I have to download it somewhere. I had it a while back, but a system reset made it disappear. Figured to just use the default app. I didn't notice so much until I've started doing photography again. Have you tried a program called Basic Photo Viewer that's in the Windows Store, I don't know if it will have the same issue, but I use it as my default image viewer as it works in ways I prefer~
