I like to start my programs by hitting the Windows Start key and just typing in the first couple letters of the program and then hitting enter. However, when I type in the letters for putty.exe it doesn't show up. puttygen.exe does show up in the list but putty.exe never shows.
It seems to work just fine in Windows 8.1. In both OSs I've just simply copied the two EXEs from a usb stick.
How can I get putty.exe to show up on in the Windows 10 search?
1Make sure that Windows Explorer has indexed the folder that you put the EXEs in. I'm pretty sure there should be an option in Control Panel called "Indexing Options" that you can use to mess with this. – Hayden Schiff – 2015-08-12T20:02:31.183
Try holding down the start key and pressing 's' to open up a system wide search – user3308082 – 2015-08-13T03:11:09.533
Seems that neither one of these suggestions work. – bigLarry – 2015-08-17T11:37:54.340
