FolderViewer for Windows

This comprehensive file manager offers a suite of features beyond those of Windows Explorer, but you'll spend quite a bit of time learning how to manipulate it. FolderViewer's multipane interface can become crowded, but you can control the areas that are open at any given time. Among several file management features, we were able to rename batches of files and convert images to JPG, TIF, PNG, and PDF formats.

In a few clicks, you can turn this application into a media player, an Internet browser, and a photo editor. The program is handy for editing file attributes, especially MP3 tags. You can easily compress files using WinZip compression and send them to colleagues via e-mail. We've only scratched the surface here as far as what this application has to offer--you'll want to grab some coffee before delving into this one. While FolderViewer may be overkill for some, those looking for an all-encompassing file manager need look no further.
