Re: Off Topic: Copernic; Was X1



Go to Options, Advanced, and there's where you can add .nb to the file types.

Aldo,

Thanks for the recommendation. I really like Copernic. One question: on the
left-hand menu you can refine your search by a number of popular file types.
Is there a way to and ".nb" for NotaBene files?

Bob Webb.

I use a freeware program by a company that produces sophisticated web-search programs. It's called Copernic desk search. Find it at: http://www.copernic.com/


It has some pretty fancy options. I use it when looking for general stuff I haven't orbis-ed, especially emails, pdf files, spreadsheets.

Really? So you find it was worth the money?

Did you look at any other applications?

I do have Acrobat 7 Professional, and I tend to save most of my

as PDFs, so I might just leave it at that, but I'm not sure I would be happy with that.


I just have tons of documents, and it's getting harder and harder to


find
them all. I might try to collapse the elaborate chain of subdirectories, and use something like X1 to find things as I need them.


It's important to find something soon because I'm about to go online


with
a personal blog for some of my friends, and I would like to have the facts at my fingertips!


Also, for those interested: there was a product (still

offered) called
"Lookout" for Outlook that works a million times better at finding email than MS's own "find." I enjoy the amazing speed and accuracy it offers.


I would recommend X1 without hesitation. I use it every day to find e-mails or files that are located in my computer. In fact, it has made me more dumb since I don't have to think about where I put or stored stuff in my computer.
