Hello,

this is not even Parallax-related except as a tool to relocate your *.bas *.sx *.spin files

http://www.voidtools.com/ has a freeware tool that uses
some NTFS journaling techniques to keep a filenamedatabase updated in realtime !

I combined it with http://www.autohotkey.com/ and a small autohotkey-script

#f::
  SetTitleMatchMode 3
  IfWinExist Everything
    WinActivate Everything
  else
    Run "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe"

  SetTitleMatchMode 2

return


to replace the windumb search-function by pressing win-f (windows key + f-key)

After the first search it takes less than half a second to get the search result.
Full contextmenu function (right-click) supported

Some how I think the name microsoft was chosen because the brains of all programmers there
are MICRO in size and SOFT is the nature of the stability of the neuron-interconnections

Since NTFS started they could have coded something like this !
But refused to. must be MICRO and SOFT brains.

best regards

Stefan
