Tag files and folders directly from Windows File Explorer using RecentX

Tagging items is a great option to organize your content. The same goes for the files and folders in your system as well.

We have another good news for you. RecentX now supports tagging of files and folders directly from Windows File Explorer.

Most of us don’t tag our files and folders in Windows since either we don’t know how to or it is a complicated procedure for us.

This is not the case with RecentX. Tagging anything, be it files, folders, programs, website history, or clipboard history, is smooth.

Read this blog post for more clarity:

Tag files, folders, programs, websites etc. in Windows using RecentX.

This post will provide you more details into this.

What is RecentX?

RecentX is a smart launcher for Windows designed to make your computing life joyful. Here are some of the many cool things you can do with RecentX:

Effortlessly access any file, folder or program on Windows in less than 5 seconds!
Assign tags to frequently used files/folders. Makes things even faster.
Integrates with Windows File open/save window so that you don’t have to navigate any folder when opening or saving a document.
It has a clipboard manager too that remembers all the text & pictures copied to a clipboard so that you can quickly pick & paste them again.

Tagging Files & Folders

Tags or labels are one of the most used features of RecentX because you can easily group items based on projects, topics, etc.

Here’s a short video depicting this feature:

These are the steps to tag files and folders directly from Windows file explorer, using RecentX:

Go to Windows File Explorer.
Right-click on the file(s) you wish to tag and choose the ‘Tag files/folders’ option.

3. The RecentX Tags window will open where you can assign tags.

4. Click on ‘OK’ and the tag will be assigned immediately.

5. You can go to RecentX and click on the tags to find your files there.

Tagging folders is also done in the same way as files.

An easier way to tag files and folders is to drag and drop it from within RecentX over the tag button to assign that tag. You can also drag and drop from Windows File Explorer over the tag button to assign that tag.

Why RecentX?

You now have seen how easy it is to assign tags using RecentX. Unlike Windows, the procedure is much simpler.

Another limitation that Windows has is that it only permits tagging of images, videos, and documents. You might not see the tagging option even on supported file types on rare occasions, depending on the file format.

Also, if you use a different file system, or transfer or shift your files to other computers or external hard drives and thumb drives, then the tags do not stay. Tagging of folders is also not supported in Windows.

All these factors make RecentX a good alternative to Windows File Explorer when you want to tag files and folders.

Another cool thing about RecentX is that it allows searching by multiple tags also. Hold the Ctrl key and select the second tag button from the toolbar in RecentX. You will see the second tag being added automatically.

RecentX update: Dark mode introduced!

We love using apps in dark mode. Apps like Twitter, Instagram and even YouTube have rolled out dark modes.

I think we all can agree that there is something really soothing and visually appealing about the dark mode. It also gives relief to our eyes that might get strained looking at the bright light of our PC and mobile screens. Another good thing is that dark mode reduces battery usage of devices and therefore ensures longer battery life.

Joining this trend is RecentX. After requests from users, we have finally introduced a dark mode option in RecentX.

What is RecentX?

RecentX is a smart launcher for Windows designed to make your computing life joyful. Here are some of the many cool things you can do with RecentX:

Effortlessly access any file, folder or program on Windows in less than 5 seconds!
Assign tags to frequently used files/folders. Makes things even faster.
Integrates with Windows File open/save window so that you don’t have to navigate any folder when opening or saving a document.
It has a clipboard manager too that remembers all the text & pictures copied to a clipboard so that you can quickly pick & paste them again.

How to activate dark mode?

Open the RecentX Window and go to the ‘Advanced’ tab on the top.

Select the ‘Preferences’ option and you will find the setting there.

You can switch back to the normal light mode anytime.

Hope you enjoy using RecentX even more after this update.

Tag/label files in Windows using a Windows File Explorer alternative

Tags or labels are very important when working with files. They help you stay organized and increase productivity by saving your time and effort on looking for things.

We know that Windows offers the ability to tag files. But it only permits tagging of images, videos, and documents. You cannot tag any file in Windows. Plus Windows doesn’t let you tag a folder.

This post will show you how you can tag files in Windows using the Windows File Explorer and an alternative software, RecentX. RecentX lets you tag any file or folder. This is the most important difference.

What is RecentX?

RecentX is a smart launcher for Windows designed to make your computing life joyful. Here are some of the many cool things you can do with RecentX:

Integrates with Windows File open/save window so that you don’t have to navigate any folder when opening or saving a document.
It has a clipboard manager too that remembers all the text & pictures copied to a clipboard so that you can quickly pick & paste them again.

Tagging files using Windows File Explorer

Windows has two methods to tag files. One is from the Properties Windows and the other from the Details Pane.

Since tagging from the Details Pane is a bit easier than the former, we will see the steps for this.

Open the File Explorer using the keyboard shortcut ‘Windows+E’.
In the File Explorer click on the “View” tab and select the “Details Pane” option from the navigation pane. The Details pane will appear on the right side of the File Explorer.

3. To tag a file, select the file from the main window and then add tags in the Tags field appearing in the Details panel. Click on Save.

That’s it.

Tagging files from Windows File Explorer using RecentX

Before we look at the steps, here’s a short video depicting the steps:

Let us look at the steps to do this using RecentX:

Go to Windows File Explorer.
Right-click on the file(s) you wish to tag and choose the ‘Tag files/folders’ option.

3. The RecentX Tags window will open where you can assign tags.

4. Click on ‘OK’ and the tag will be assigned immediately.

5. You can go to RecentX and click on the tags to find your files there.

We also have an easier way to tag whereby you can drag and drop the files from within RecentX over the tag button or drag and drop from Windows File Explorer over the tag button to assign that tag.

Our Verdict

Both Windows and RecentX have minimal steps to tag files.

However, there’s a twist here. Windows has a limitation so it only permits tagging of images, videos, and documents. You might not see the tagging option even on supported file types on rare occasions, depending on the file format.

Also, if you use a different file system, or transfer or shift your files to other computers or external hard drives and thumb drives, then the tags are removed.

Thereby, we would definitely go with something reliable like RecentX.

Windows app to popup a reminder message at specific time

It’s really important to set reminders for our tasks so we don’t miss our deadlines and stay on track.

Why? Let me explain the steps to set reminders at specific time using both the above apps and you will understand it clearly.

Closing comments

Even though the Task Scheduler is free and inbuilt in your system, not many people are aware of its existence. It is not used that often for the simple reasons that it is confusing with multiple windows and steps to configure.

Also, two features- the reminder and email features are deprecated features. That means they may or may not function because they are no longer supported by Microsoft.

Therefore it is better to go for something more trustworthy like Notezilla. Notezilla’s reminders work perfectly and is easy to configure under a single window. It also has other amazing features like sync, password protect notes, insert pictures in notes, attach sticky notes to websites, documents etc.

So how about giving it a try today. It’s free and also perfectly boosts your productivity by saving your time and efforts!
