I have the same regards for SysInternals (and am hoping, that although acquired by Microsoft, SysInternals will remain as unique and inventive as a small niche company should. BTW, "My Autism treatment site" is spam. Do not waste your time. Hopefully that comment will get deleted.

WAS a problem - Now, I have the 'Date Modified', 'Date Added', and 'Date Accessed' columns showing in Windows Explorer, so I can sort my 'Downloads' directory to locate the files I downloaded last night - With "RecentFilesView", I know which I opened, and with 'IE History View' ("IEHV") and "MozillaHistoryView", both from NirSoft ;-) , I can see which sites I visited last night! I think most of us have seen or even downloaded a program that seemed great, but couldn't find it later - These programs, plus enabling all of the 'Date Columns' in Windows Explorer has cut way down on the "Where was that program or website?" syndrome, at least for me! I've also learned to add the PROPER Filename and Version plus an 'equals sign' at the beginning of filenames as I download them - "ptcalc-setup.exe" is a little cryptic, but "Karen's Calculator=ptcalc-setup.exe" actually makes sense, and by leaving the original filename after the '=', I can search for it several different ways!
