Windows Explorer addons

Anyone know of any good ones? I use TeraCopy, but I'm interested in finding some other useful ones.

Perhaps we could start a list similar to the firefox extensions one :lol:

2

I use TeraCopy too and DMEXBar

3

Only one I use to use was http://www.iespell.com/

4

(Assuming we're talking Internet Explorer, not Windows Explorer ...) IE7Pro (works on IE8 with a registry tweak).

Also ieHttpHeaders if you're feeling techie.

Microsoft's IE Developer Toolbar (not tried this at IE8).

5

Good point I think for once someone actually means windows explorer.... anyway IE7Pro wasn't too bad, but not good enough to give up firefox :)

Ah yes, I think you're right ... I was following your lead with IESpell, lol (lame excuse ;)). Just carrying on off topic then, I actually went back to IE when 7 came out ... IE7Pro just made it better. Horses for courses as usual :)

I don't actually use any extensions for Windows Explorer ... think I might take a look at what's recommended here.

Are these are both freeware? I'm always wary of software that says 'free download' (DMEXBar) ... and it's only when you've installed it you find it's a trial version :)

I did indeed mean Windows Explorer :lol: I'll check out DMEXBar though! :)

It's not been updated in a while but QT TabBar is cool. Lots of great features, too many mention. Some good plugins too.

I also find FindeXer a good side bar addition too.

These two I couldn't live without when using explorer.

This could make for a very interesting topic, its not something I've really looked into. QT Tabbar and Findexer look interesting, shall certainly be trying QT out (why have tabbed Windows never occurred to me before as an idea worth looking up :rolleyes: ).

Only things I have installed that would maybe be considered and explorer addon would be Eraser (5.7) which I use as a right click replacement for the standard delete, and Styler to pretty up the explorer toolbars. Tried Teracopy a while back but never found it particularly advantageous for my uses.

11

I use FileMenu Tools, FileAlyzer, Eraser and Unlocker.

I'm always suspicious of "Free Download", but DMEXBar is actually free. Had a look at it out of curiosity under Returnil.

This could, as JD says, be an interesting thread.

EDIT: And TeraCopy is free for home users.

Thanks Dennis.

iColorFolder

QTTab bar

AudioShell

Unlocker Assistant

I'll edit in links for those.

15

Seems I missed a couple in my last post. Also use Unlocker and TreeSize

well if you include unlocker as an extension/addon then I've tried some...

17

So if we're including shell extensions ...

CMD Prompt Here (folders only)

Copy Path to Clipboard (most used context menu at home and at work ... can't live without it!)

Windows grep

WinMerge

SecureZIP (free version ... unfortunately no longer available)

TextPad

Eraser
