cannot find wordpad.exe

Post by AndyS01 »

While trying to set wordpad.exe into my Start menu, I used Everything to search for it and it only found it in a directory like this:
C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-wordpad_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_2d90cf56ce391a32\wordpad.exe

But, there is a wordpad.exe here:
C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe

Why doesn't Everything find this file?

Which version of Everything?

Probably this is the Hard Link.

All I could find were older versions or the same version. Where can I go to get the latest version and the latest beta version?

Never mind, I found it at https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/

I downloaded Version 1.4.0.713b (x86) and it worked. Thanks for the help.
