Review
This program enhances Windows' Open and Save As dialog boxes, but can only be used with basic Windows-based applications. File-Ex's tabbed, slightly crowded interface allows you to easily modify and enhance the configuration of the Open, Open As, and Save As dialog-box settings in Windows applications like Notepad and Paint. You'll find numerous functionalities are added, including delete, copy, make new folder, and copy file or folder's path to the clipboard. In addition, File-Ex maintains histories of recently used and favorite files and folders. The program doesn't support Microsoft applications, but you can add this functionality with templates offered by the publisher. Regardless of skill level, this handy tool can help any user streamline file management tasks.
