You trust Windows Explorer when it comes to fi le management, but you still think a couple of useful functions are missing and want to know whether you can expand its functionality.
FilerFrog is an extremely practical Shell extension for Windows Explorer. It is available for free, and can be downloaded from www.filerfrog.com.
First unzip the ZIP archive and then run the relevant MSI installation fi le for your system since FilerFrog is available in 32 and 64-bit versions. The installation must be authorised via User Account Control. Then restart the computer so that the tool is integrated into Explorer.
‘FilerFrog’ will also be available as an additional menu item in the context menu of Windows Explorer. If you for instance want to sort a few fi les in a big folder, select them and then select the context command ‘Filerfrog | Organize | Extract Files to Folder’. Now enter a name for the new subfolder and click ‘OK’.
The tool now creates this subfolder and moves all the selected fi les to it. You can also move the contents of individual subfolders into the higher level folder just as quickly. Just right click the subfolder(s)
or select the command ‘FilerFrog | Organize | Extract Files to Folder’. Confi rm the deletion of the empty sub-folder in the end with ‘Yes’. In the ‘Organize’ submenu, you can also copy and move fi les, or can copy the current path to clipboard. The ‘List of Files’ menu item can be used to create fi le lists in various formats and save them as text or HTML. This is extremely practical if you want to create and print a list of songs or videos.
Under ‘Security’, the tool provides a pre-programmed option of encrypting fi les or folders quickly and to protect them with a password. Data can be encrypted only on systems with FilerFrog. You can also split large fi les into predefi ned or random parts using ‘Split and Join’ if for instance you want to burn the
data on to several CDs. In the ‘Rename’ menu item, the tool provides numerous options for complex renaming. You can thus set automatic numbering, set or attach specific text or delete a specifi ed number of characters from the name. Moreover, names can also be edited using ‘Find & Replace’. These functions are
useful if you want to sort the fi les of a photo album for instance.
