Everything can be highly useful as a lean desktop search utility that doesn't take up a lot of your PC's resources.

Everything: Context-Sensitive Menu

Right-clicking on a file name in the Everything search window opens a context-sensitive menu that includes most of the same choices as the Windows Explorer context-sensitive menu plus some useful additions, most notably Copy Full Name to Clipboard (which copies the full path along with the file name).

Everything: Main screen

The main Everything window looks much like a Windows Explorer window, except that when you type in a search phrase, it shows every file on your disk that matches, regardless of what folder it's in.

Everything: Option Settings

Everything offers any number of options to let you customize it.

Everything: Search Options

You can pick options for individual searches from this drop-down menu.
