Filebox eXtender - adding favorites to your file browsing

review by ClifNotes, Sept 2006, permalink

Filebox eXtender is kind of like a tool bar for your Windows file manager (explorer.exe) which is commonly accessed by clicking "My Computer". It adds three more buttons to the title bar of every explorer window. The most important button, and the "heart" of this add-on is the favorites button which has a heart on it. Clicking this button allows you to add the current folder as a favorite location and you can also navigate to other previously entered favorite locations on your PC's hard drive or network.

This add-on is a real time saver and unlike other explorer add-ons I've used before, it seems pretty stable.

Quote from the website

  • Navigate easily through the Windows folder maze with its “favorites” and “recently accessed” buttons added to standard Windows File Open, File Save dialog boxes and Explorer folders. With these buttons you can access your favorite and recently visited folders and documents with one mouse click.
  • Add a "push-pin" button to your "top level" windows. This function prevents any window you "pin" to the desktop from being covered by any other windows. This is great when you want to keep an eye on one program, but use another.
  • Add a "roll-up" button added to top level windows. When you click it, the window is "rolled up" leaving only its title bar visible, and uncovering what was underneath it. Click that button again, and the window rolls back down. The Always on Top and Rollup commands can be also displayed on the system menu of any window.
