RecentX is a launcher for Windows designed to make your computing life joyful. It is stuffed with innovative ways of accessing your stuff on your Windows PC with lightning speed. Extraordinary Windows app that gives the fastest access to your files, folders, programs, websites & clipboard history. RecentX is an amazing Windows program!

Features and Highlights

Saves a lot of time
Instantly launch any file, document, folder, app, web history, or bookmark using very few keystrokes.

Avoids outdated ways of accessing folders
Avoids tedious folder navigation. No need to access deep folder trees & sub-menus in order to launch any document, folder, program, or website. Just type & go!

Made even easier
Assign tags to files & folders. Group them based on projects. Access them in a single click.

Whole computer on your Windows desktop
Traditionally, one would keep only essential files on Windows desktop for faster access. But with RecentX Launcher, accessing any file, any level deep is equally fast.

There is nothing to learn
The App Launcher is simple & works out of the box. You don't need to configure your favorite files or folders. Just install & see it working.

Shows you what is best
Automatically gets the files and folders that are more important to you. Items that are recently & frequently accessed are shown before other trivial items. Makes launching easier.

Quickie file manager
Perform frequent file operations such as copy, move, delete, rename without launching a file manager such a Windows Explorer.

One-stop for all your bookmarks
Get fast access to bookmarks & history from Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, & Google Chrome.

Access remote folders like local
Automatically lists the network folders that you access. Launching a network folder any level deep takes less than 3 seconds.

Does more than just launching
Find any file or folder on your computer in less than 3 seconds, attach a file to email using drag & drop, use Windows Explorer plug-ins from Recent X Launcher.
