explorerplusplus VS Wox

And hence this question, how do I chainload the Clover/OC EFI file from the Windows Boot Manager menu? No way that I know of, you need to use another bootloader first, OC/Clover must come first. (Adding OpenCore via BCDEdit has always borked my Windows installs.) rEFInd will do this, but you need to mount your EFI (ESP) in windows with read/write, and swap bootloaders. This requires a whole bunch of steps using diskutil, or a 3rd party equivalent, explorer++ (as Administrator).

Just a heads up, I currently use Explorer++ to do this function for my role at work. TBH that app is pretty ancient compared to this new file manager but it works for my purposes.

Launch a 3rd party file explorer (or cmd) as TrustedInstaller and you will be able to replace/modify the templates.

Download this: https://explorerplusplus.com/, extract it to your desktop, right click on it and run it as admin. Then through this program try to access the files that are giving you permission errors.

Btw if you need to launch a file explorer with TrustedInstaller rights you can use 7-Zip or something like Explorer++ since the default explorer can't be (easily) launched with TrustedInstaller rights.

QTTabBar or you could switch to Explorer++.

Try something like Explorer++.

Not with the default explorer. However you could get Explorer++ and use that for when you want to see all files. It also has tabs many other useful features.

It's possible adding Explorer++ might work.

RunFlow is a cross-platform productivity tool which can launch apps and search files and more, that similar to Wox and PowerToys on Windows, and also similar like Alfred and Raycast on macOS. But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. It's an amazing journey, let's start.

I find Wox (which also uses Everything) a really great quick launcher, it saves a lot of time.

Maybe it's Wox (https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox) which is no longer maintained. Out of all these Spotlight alternatives, I think Fluent search is the best https://github.com/adirh3/Fluent-Search

Wox

I shared the exact same sentiment when I transitioned to Windows after a long period of only using macOS. I eventually began building a launcher myself using C# and over time it has become my daily driver. Feel free to check it out at https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint, PRs welcome :-)

A few other nice candidates I found include:

- Keypirinha: https://keypirinha.com/

- Wox: https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox

- ueli: https://github.com/oliverschwendener/ueli

Other options that are open source are wox, cerebro and flow launcher

Have a look at PowerToys Run - based on Wox, open-source, and officially MS-backed.

For anyone in need of a functional search in windows: I recommend Wox, it uses the everyhig searoh engine and it works flawlessly

Personally I avoid the start menu or anything related to Windows indexing. What I use is everything and wox.
