RecentX lets Windows users access their recent documents & folders without navigating complex, often annoying and time-consuming hard drive directories. Without any configuration or system scanning, RecentX automatically tracks the files, folders and websites you use. It keeps them accessible in an easy-to-use and easy-to-find format. RecentX can remember recent items that are several weeks old.

RecentX provides a spotlight view of your harddrive. It only shows the files and folders that are important to you. Hence eliminates access to thousands of other trivial files and folders.

RecentX allows users to bypass the Start menu altogether when launching favorite programs or accessing remote files through 'My Network Places' and allows access to online bookmarks without using the chronological menu on an Internet browser. Items can be dragged and dropped into the list with ease, and can be hidden if a user doesn’t want the files or folders to be publicly visible.
