I have a folder named for example DDC77 but I want the file explorer to return me that exact folder even if I search D DCC77 or DD C77

Explorer doesn't do partial strings. You will need to use wildcards, like this : DD*C77.

For a more flexible file-search product, see the free voidtools Everything, which is also much faster and more flexible than Explorer.

@Ramhound That just means that the malware is using that particular piece of software, not that the software itself is bad, right? I am not sure what the point of your comment is. I could easily write a bit of malware that uses WebBrowserPassView, or even normal Windows DLLs to use the functionality provided. But that doesn't mean WebBrowserPassView or those Windows DLLs are "bad". – Gantendo Jan 31 '23 at 14:33

As long as the software is downloaded from the voidtools website this is safe. – harrymc Jan 31 '23 at 14:41
