FileFilter Shell Extension 2.21

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This simple program manages files, but some features are missing and others fail to function during tests. FileFilter Shell Extension integrates into the Windows shell for opportune right-click accessibility. You can easily drag and drop a file on the application's desktop icon, which in turn opens its archaic interface. Deleting, moving, and copying files and folders without ever having to actually open them is easy. Virtually every extension you can think of is presented, so assigning filters to use based on file extension, size, and modification time is a snap. Sorry to say, the compress function featured delivers an error message during our analysis. We also wish FileFilter Shell Extension could manage multiple files as opposed to one at a time. Whats more, a secure method of file deletion would prove useful to the security-conscious as well. FileFilter Shell Extension would be a decent choice for users with multiple files, though it isn't as hearty as some of the more competitive applications you'll come across.
