Shell Extensions

Add extra functions to the right-click context-sensitive menus.

• Click the Windows Freeware link.
• modify the "Date/Time" of a file or group of files. This is a lot easier than adjusting the system clock
• display "Folder Size" (helps you find space-hogging folders so you can backup/delete them
• the Date/Time and Folder Size extensions show up as a NEW tab on the Properties menu.
• "Split File" works on large files. Split into floppy sized chunks (8 pre-set sizes or specify a size); merge does not require Split File to be installed.
• Split File extension shows up when you right-click a large file.

ZDNet - PC Magazine

This is a good place to start if you're looking for a program to do something specific. Please go to ZDNet or PC Magazine and look in the download section. Links have been updated on 17-Oct-2002.

• find duplicate files based on name->version info; size->contents; date/time
• search multiple drives or in specific folders
• enable exclusions for user-specified folders, files and file types (C:\TEMP, FILE*.CHK, *.BAK)
• move duplicates to Recycle Bin, DUPE$$$$ folder or delete permanently

• a shell extension for a directory listing which you can save (ASCII text file) or print
• options include: sort folders alphabetically; include filenames; specify number of folder levels (folder depth)

• Cookie list: specify which cookies to accept and reject by website
• Blocked site list: block entire sites; or just images from that site (fewer advertising banners to download)

Renaming Tools

I find 1-4a Rename is easier to use and more flexible than Lupas Rename (I haven't had a reason to rename multiple Folders yet). "Save last-used path and window size" is planned for the next version of 1-4a Rename.

• Feature packed renamer, press F2 to switch from Basic and Advanced modes
• preview changes before making them, Undo in case of mistakes
• insert numbers/dates, swap words, change CaSe, replace, shorten, and many more
• all features are available from a single, colourful, well laid out screen; no tabs that require extra clicks

• renames files as well as FOLDERS; familiar Windows interface
• preview changes before making them, Undo in case of mistakes
• insert numbers/dates, change CaSe, replace, shorten, and many more
• multiple language support
• shell integration (Lupas Rename can be added to the Right-click menu)
• can remember last window position and last used path
