Developer’s Description

By Dmitry Brant
Access and modify alternate data streams within any file.
Alternate Data Stream Manager (ADS Manager) is a simple, straightforward, and most importantly free utility for accessing and modifying so-called "alternate data streams" within any given file. This functionality is a little-known feature of the NTFS file system that allows one file to contain more than one stream of data. This allows your files to contain "hidden" data that will be invisible to other applications.
