Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account

Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Overpaying on car insurance

Sorry, I don’t know how to get the folders listed in between the files.
But, to get rid of the grouping. Right-click on a blank spot in the folder view. Then set Group by to (None).
If you really want this. Then replace the built-in Explorer with something more capable.
If you still want something which appears and works similar to Microsoft Windows Explorer, perhaps try Explorer++, Files, etc.
More capabilities than those even? Start looking at things like multi-folder organizers and/or dual pane browsers.

I don’t have Windows Explorer because I have Windows 10 and that program is now File Explorer. Looks the same. Does pretty much the same AFAIK. But the search box CAN do a search by just the first letter of the filename. They don’t seem to make it easy for people to know this. The search language feature is “like” and entered by putting a tilde (~) after the colon after the term, so
- name:~e*
Here’s an example done in the c:\Windows\system32 folder:
Of course that’s just the top, there are MANY files whose name begins with e in that folder.

If you are using pre-Windows 10, let us know if that also works that way in Windows Explorer. BTW- very much faster searching if one turns on Indexing. Select the folders to index, not EVERYTHING. Especially not, e.g., Program folders!. Go to the Indexing Options setting.

A company called National Debt Relief could convince your lenders to simply get rid of a big chunk of what you owe. No bankruptcy, no loans — you don’t even need to have good credit.
If you owe at least $10,000 in unsecured debt (credit card debt, personal loans, medical bills, etc.), National Debt Relief’s experts will build you a monthly payment plan. As your payments add up, they negotiate with your creditors to reduce the amount you owe. You then pay off the rest in a lump sum.
On average, you could become debt-free within 24 to 48 months. It takes less than a minute to sign up and see how much debt you could get rid of.
3. You Can Become a Real Estate Investor for as Little as $10
Take a look at some of the world’s wealthiest people. What do they have in common? Many invest in large private real estate deals. And here’s the thing: There’s no reason you can’t, too — for as little as $10.
An investment called the Fundrise Flagship Fund lets you get started in the world of real estate by giving you access to a low-cost, diversified portfolio of private real estate. The best part? You don’t have to be the landlord. The Flagship Fund does all the heavy lifting.
With an initial investment as low as $10, your money will be invested in the Fund, which already owns more than $1 billion worth of real estate around the country, from apartment complexes to the thriving housing rental market to larger last-mile e-commerce logistics centers.
Want to invest more? Many investors choose to invest $1,000 or more. This is a Fund that can fit any type of investor’s needs. Once invested, you can track your performance from your phone and watch as properties are acquired, improved, and operated. As properties generate cash flow, you could earn money through quarterly dividend payments. And over time, you could earn money off the potential appreciation of the properties.
So if you want to get started in the world of real-estate investing, it takes just a few minutes to sign up and create an account with the Fundrise Flagship Fund.
This is a paid advertisement. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fundrise Real Estate Fund before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus. Read them carefully before investing.

Good news: A website called YouGov will pay you up to $50 or more this month just to answer survey questions about politics, the economy, and other hot news topics.
Plus, it’s totally anonymous, so no one will judge you for that hot take.

5. This Online Bank Account Pays 10x More Interest Than Your Traditional Bank
If you bank at a traditional brick-and-mortar bank, your money probably isn’t growing much (c’mon, 0.40% is basically nothing).1
But there’s good news: With SoFi Checking and Savings (member FDIC), you stand to gain up to a hefty 3.80% APY on savings when you set up a direct deposit or have $5,000 or more in Qualifying Deposits and 0.50% APY on checking balances2 — savings APY is 10 times more than the national average.1
Right now, a direct deposit of at least $1K not only sets you up for higher returns but also brings you closer to earning up to a $300 welcome bonus (terms apply).3
You can easily deposit checks via your phone’s camera, transfer funds, and get customer service via chat or phone call. There are no account fees, no monthly fees and no overdraft fees.* And your money is FDIC insured (up to $3M of additional FDIC insurance through the SoFi Insured Deposit Program).4
It’s quick and easy to open an account with SoFi Checking and Savings (member FDIC) and watch your money grow faster than ever.

5. Stop Paying Your Credit Card Company
If you have credit card debt, you know. The anxiety, the interest rates, the fear you’re never going to escape… but a website called AmONE wants to help.
If you owe your credit card companies $100,000 or less, AmONE will match you with a low-interest loan you can use to pay off every single one of your balances.
The benefit? You’ll be left with one bill to pay each month. And because personal loans have lower interest rates (AmONE rates start at 6.40% APR), you’ll get out of debt that much faster.
It takes less than a minute and just 10 questions to see what loans you qualify for.

The easiest way is to use wildcards like the asterisk. If the part of the name you are looking for is at the beginning of the file name, put an asterisk at the end of the search string. If partial name is in the middle of the full name, put asterisks at either end of the search string. There are a myriad other tricks here:
and here:

Go to the base folder of each, right-click, and selected properties. This will give you a count of the files and folders, and the total size of everything. If they are the same… the are probably the same. If there are differences…
You can go through folder by folder and repeat the process. Depending upon the number of sub-folders this will typically find any missing/extra/changed files reasonably quickly.
Download a file comparison utility. AptDiff, DiffMerge, WinMerge, Beyond Compare, etc. They will scan two sets of directories and tell you which files are different.
I once met a man who drove a modest Toyota Corolla, wore beat-up sneakers, and looked like he’d lived the same way for decades. But what really caught my attention was when he casually mentioned he was retired at 45 with more money than he could ever spend. I couldn’t help but ask, “How did you do it?”
He smiled and said, “The secret to saving money is knowing where to look for the waste—and car insurance is one of the easiest places to start.”
He then walked me through a few strategies that I’d never thought of before. Here’s what I learned:

I once met a man who drove a modest Toyota Corolla, wore beat-up sneakers, and looked like he’d lived the same way for decades. But what really caught my attention was when he casually mentioned he was retired at 45 with more money than he could ever spend. I couldn’t help but ask, “How did you do it?”
He smiled and said, “The secret to saving money is knowing where to look for the waste—and car insurance is one of the easiest places to start.”
He then walked me through a few strategies that I’d never thought of before. Here’s what I learned:
1. Make insurance companies fight for your business
Most people just stick with the same insurer year after year, but that’s what the companies are counting on. This guy used tools like Coverage.com to compare rates every time his policy came up for renewal. It only took him a few minutes, and he said he’d saved hundreds each year by letting insurers compete for his business.
Click here to try Coverage.com and see how much you could save today.
2. Take advantage of safe driver programs
He mentioned that some companies reward good drivers with significant discounts. By signing up for a program that tracked his driving habits for just a month, he qualified for a lower rate. “It’s like a test where you already know the answers,” he joked.
You can find a list of insurance companies offering safe driver discounts here and start saving on your next policy.
3. Bundle your policies
He bundled his auto insurance with his home insurance and saved big. “Most companies will give you a discount if you combine your policies with them. It’s easy money,” he explained. If you haven’t bundled yet, ask your insurer what discounts they offer—or look for new ones that do.
4. Drop coverage you don’t need
He also emphasized reassessing coverage every year. If your car isn’t worth much anymore, it might be time to drop collision or comprehensive coverage. “You shouldn’t be paying more to insure the car than it’s worth,” he said.
5. Look for hidden fees or overpriced add-ons
One of his final tips was to avoid extras like roadside assistance, which can often be purchased elsewhere for less. “It’s those little fees you don’t think about that add up,” he warned.
The Secret? Stop Overpaying
The real “secret” isn’t about cutting corners—it’s about being proactive. Car insurance companies are counting on you to stay complacent, but with tools like Coverage.com and a little effort, you can make sure you’re only paying for what you need—and saving hundreds in the process.
If you’re ready to start saving, take a moment to:
- Compare rates now on Coverage.com
- Check if you qualify for safe driver discounts
- Reevaluate your coverage today

There is no universal key combination for that, not even on a single operating system. Even the Ctrl+F is “just” a convention that seems old enough to look fairly generic. So this is up to individual applications. Some of them might use F3 or F8 for this, or perhaps a repeat of Ctrl+F. You would probably have the check the online help for the application you are using to be sure.
Open This PC option on the desktop, copy-paste the file name from the shortcut created on the desktop in the search box (mostly on the right-hand upper corner of the window), and press Enter.
You shall find the file along with the path where it is located.
If your file happens to be hidden, click the View tab on the file explorer window and check the hidden items box and follow the steps all over again.
The files should still be exactly where it was. You have just created Desktop shortcuts for all the files, so the actual files should be in its original location.
Try searching for the file with the filename. It should point you to the actual file.
How do you tell 'find' command to jump to a position and search (find, directory, man, cd command, header file, Unix)?
That depends on what you mean by “jump to a position”.
Find starts at a given position and continues until finished.

Windows Explorer can search, but it is relatively slow, you may need to wait patiently.
You can also use a free tool called Anytxt, which searches the contents of files instantly. Of course, Anytxt is an index-based desktop search engine, which needs to be indexed in advance, which is its shortcoming

A shortcut is nothing more than a pointer, stored in a location (such as your desktop) which is convenient to use. That pointer is to a file which is stored in some other location on the computer. It is neither the original file nor a copy of that file and does not contain any of the data stored in that original file.
As long as the original file i still stored in the location the pointer is pointing to, you can use the shortcut to open or access that original file. As such, it can also be used to identify where that original file was/is stored at by right-clicking on the shortcut, selecting pr

As such, it can also be used to identify where that original file was/is stored at by right-clicking on the shortcut, selecting properties from the context menu which appears, looking at the Shortcut tab, and reading what is in the box labeled Target. Additionally, you can click the button “Open File Location” on that same tab to open a Windows Explorer window pointing to that location and the original file.
However, if the original file has been deleted, renamed, or otherwise been altered so it no longer exists, then the shortcut will no longer be able to be used to locate that original file and it cannot be used to recover the original file.
CTRL + E opens the Search Quick Access pulldown menu in Window Explorer. Since Explorer already uses both combos as shortcuts, reassigning either is likely to present problems because Windows will tend to switch back to defaults at every opportunity. It’s easier, and more effective, to map for functions that don’t have existing combos.
That said, one site advises downloading a program for that called Power Toys. I searched for “power toys malware” and found nothing. Apparently the program is legit, and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store.
It's not IMMEDIATELY like Spotlight because this isn't a OSX or iOS. :)
Actually, if you enter your query and then DON'T hit enter but tap/tab over to/click "My Stuff" you should see something a bit more familiar.
Yes; Cortana's local search is indexed differently than the File Explorer search system. If i remember correctly, File search is much, much deeper; Cortana only seems to search meta data for non-Office files, while File Search will actually crack open files it knows how to and is allowed to query. Cortana does deep search Office files, however, especially OneNote notebooks.
**********WINDOWS OS**********
The below link contains all keyboard shortcuts which can work as per your OS. Microsoft have described all the shortcuts on their official website.Please Refer to the link for more information.
Keyboard shortcuts - Windows Help [ http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/keyboard-shortcuts#keyboard-shortcuts=windows...
Alt+F4 - Forcefully closes any application
CTRL+Alt+Delete - Opens a widow where you can manage accounts and open task manager
Alt+Tab - Switches between windows on your desktop
Windows+R - Not needed, but helpful if your computer isn’t opening a program.
You can reassign keyboard shortcuts in Windows 11 by going to the Settings app, selecting "Ease of Access," and then selecting "Keyboard." Under the "Use the Ctrl + E instead of Ctrl + A" section, you can enable the option to use Ctrl + E instead of Ctrl + A to select all files in Windows Explorer.
Press your Windows + E keys. Click on VIEW at the top menu bar. On the top menu bar, far right, click on OPTIONS, then click on CHANGE FOLDER AND SEARCH OPTIONS. Make your changes there. The changes you make will affect ALL the folders in Explorer, not just the ones you have open.
At the top of the list of files there should be a “Date Modified” column. If not, click on “view” and ”details”. If you still don’t see “date modified” right click on the file box just above your files and check the “date modified” box. Now your latest files will appear on the top with older files below. If not, left click on the “date modified” and your latest files will be at the top. Remember to move the slider on the right up or down to see your order of files.
Sure, I can reduce the length of my last answer by a little bit. Here is the shortened version:
To rename a file quickly in Windows Explorer, press F2 while the file is selected. You can then type a new name for the file. Press Enter to save the changes.
Here are some other keyboard shortcuts that you can use to rename files in Windows Explorer:
- Ctrl+A - Select all files in the current folder.
- Ctrl+Shift+N - Create a new folder.
- Ctrl+X - Cut the selected file or folder.
- Ctrl+C - Copy the selected file or folder.
- Ctrl+V - Paste the copied or cut file or folder.
I would define “selection” a little differently, say it is the highlight (or highlighting) that jumps, and call the feature “selection by letter” or “selection by initial letter.”
selection n. (1) the act of selecting material; (2) material that is selected.
Yes, just click on the column headers of type, size, date or name to sort by those attributes. Click again to reverse the sort. Your choice will be remembered for that folder.
To sort all the files in all the sub-folders, put *.* into the search line before sorting.
