WinFindr is a free, lightweight data searching app for Windows. It can search for files, folders as well as registry data. This is how it looks like: https://winfindr.com/assets/screenshots/dark_mode/winfindr_search2.png Key features: Search using multiple search terms at the same time, also with a ...

You are correct, Windows does in fact highlight the selected (i.e. items with the tick in the checkbox) this way. I shall add that to the next version of Uninstalr. Thank you both for pushing for this!

Thank you for including that, too! Fun fact: I wrote that thing on one sitting

On this, I have to agree with FileHandler personally. Ticking the checkboxes but not highlighting the lines themselves is just odd to a Windows old-timer like myself. I mean, I don't think it's as dangerous as FileHandler has made it out to be, but it's just... odd. Automatically highlighting or so...

Don't know what you mean by it "just" highlights the rows. Highlight = Select, it is the same thing, these are the rows that will be operated on, the boxes are optional, in fact, they may have scrolled out of sight, depending on window size and row length. With or without checkboxes, the ...

what did you expect it to do? This functionality is how lists like this usually work. Well, on every computer I have worked on the last 20 years, shift-clicking highlights all lines in between, no matter whether inside a spreadsheet or file manager or any kind of list that consists of rows. MS Expl...

I use Dark Mode. I did not mention my scary experience with Shift-selecting. But since you mention it, this is what happens: Shift-clicking does NOT highlight the lines in between. Which makes you think it does not work, just like Ctrl-clicking does not work, either, so you think nothing much about...

Guess, my main problem is with the design and layout. I find it hard to distinguish captions from less important, purely informative text. Unless you really read over all the small print scattered throughout the window. Just like I missed the main menu, I also missed the Search-field. Although I di...

Just type "con" and it will show only all apps whose name or publisher name contains Does not work here. The list remains the same, no filter is applied, it does not even jump to the first entry that starts with the letter I typed. To confirm: Are you typing to the "search" fiel...

Maybe you could add a button for "Deep Scan". From a user perspective, when I start an app I want to interact with it right away, orient myself, browse the interface, the options, feel at home, sort of. Being forced to sit idle and watch a seemingly frozen progress bar, well, it threw me ...

[*]The search for installed software takes at least a full minute, often longer. Geek Uninstaller does the same thing in a few seconds. This point needs some clarification. Geek Uninstaller does not do the same in a few seconds. What Geek Uninstaller and the majority of all other uninstaller progra...

Be careful... Uninstalr portable found TeamViewer installed (I use only portable versions) - i tried to uninstall it, the computer was restarted (without warning) after some process (deleting in CMD) and didn't start again... I had to restore Windows from a restore point. Be sure to create one! The...

@jv16: I just want to let you know I find it really impressive that you have done all this by yourself (with some help from ChatGPT :lol:). Your blog post was hilarious, and the software is great, as least from the limited time I had with it. It found some leftover entries that I didn't know exist,...

Revo Uninstaller has been my go-to since it does neat stuff like catch those stray registry entries and leftover files from %localappdata% and %appdata%. This is a manual process in Revo after the regular uninstall process, but I like that I am able to control and see what I'm about to delete. In y...

I would like to introduce Uninstalr. It's a free tool for uninstalling software in Windows that I made. uninstalr_main.png Key Features Batch uninstall many apps at the same time.
