But remember, this data is from a specific report and actual figures can vary year by year and from source to source.

Yes, amcache.hve.tmp is a legitimate file. It's associated with the Windows operating system and is used to store certain types of system data. However, like any file, it could potentially be targeted by malware. If you suspect the file is compromised, scan your system with a reliable antivirus software.

When I opened amcache.hve it said file in use by other program. Is this normal?

Yes, it's normal. The "amcache.hve" file is part of the Windows system and can be accessed by the system or other programs while your computer is running. If you're not experiencing any issues, it's likely nothing to worry about. If you're concerned, run a system scan with your antivirus software.

Yes, it's normal. The ".tmp" extension indicates a temporary file, which may not always be in use. It could be a leftover from a previous operation and might be deleted automatically by the system later. If you suspect any issues, it's a good idea to run an antivirus scan.

What happens when you put a file directory in the search of your browser?
If you put a local file directory into your browser's search bar (for example, C:\Users\YourName\Documents), the browser will display the contents of that directory, allowing you to open files directly in the browser, if supported. This works like a basic file explorer.

The "Search" process in Windows, also known as "Search Indexer", doesn't always run, but it does run frequently. It operates in the background to index files to make searches faster. If your system is running slow or you notice high CPU usage, you can check if "Search Indexer" is the cause and adjust its settings if needed.

For me it’s always running. If I close it it starts again.

The Windows Search process is designed to restart itself if stopped because it's a core system process. If it's causing performance issues, you can modify its behavior through the Indexing Options in the Control Panel. If it still persistently runs at high resources, it might be a good idea to check for system updates or consult a tech professional.

What does pressing enter while viewing the contents of an archive do?
If you press enter while viewing the contents of an archive (like a .zip or .rar file), it will typically open the highlighted file or folder within the archive, if your archive manager supports it. This can vary depending on the software you're using to view the archive.

If nothing is highlighted and you press enter while viewing the contents of an archive, typically nothing will happen. The enter key usually requires a selection to perform an action. However, behavior may vary depending on the specific software you're using.
