Desktop Explorer:

Desktop Explorer provides integrated set of tools, viewer and editor window that you'd often have to pay more than the price of Desktop Explorer just to have one of these cool utilities! Here are some of the screenshots of those major applications:

Main Interface

Archive Manager

Desktop Explorer offers a very full range of Archive tools giving you the ability to create, edit, view, convert, and search compressed files.  You can even create a self-extracting Window's executable file (*.exe) from an Archive.

Archive Search Text

Unlike the basic Windows Find Files or Search Text (also available as enhanced Desktop Explorer Special Tools) - the Archive versions actually perform their searches on files contained within compressed archives. You can activate these special searches via the Main Archive menu.

Batch Rename

The Batch Rename function allows you to quickly rename multiple files into a sequence of file names.

To activate this function, go to the Tools - Batch Rename menu.

Encrypt Files

The Encrypt/Decrypt function allows you to keep private files private by using a special password encrypting algorithm to render files useless until they are decrypted. This can be applied to files on your own computer, your network or for files shared between other Desktop Explorer users.

To activate this function, you must first select the desired file(s) in the File Manager windows.

Find Files

Desktop Explorer offers any combination of four methods by which to find files on any hard drive and/or folders on your local computer or mapped drives on your network.

Set File Properties Window

The Set File Properties function allows you to set or reset certain file properties such as Created, Modified, or Accessed Date and to mark a file as Archive, Read Only, Hidden or System (or remove such settings).

Split File

The Split File function allows you to split a large file into smaller files and create a standard .bat file that can be used to reconstruct a copy of the original file.

Image Viewer and Editor Window

The onboard Graphics Viewing/Editing window supports the following file formats:
 .bmp, .cur, .dib, emf, .gif, .ico, .jpeg, .jpg, .pbm, .pcx, .pgm, .png, .ppm, .rle, .tga, .tif, .tiff and .wmf.

The viewer also supports animated GIF files. The editing features include rotate, flip, resize, resample along with full Color Adjustment and Special Effects.

Hex Viewer Window

The New Hex Window function will take what ever file you currently have open in any other Desktop Explorer Viewing window and open a new Binary/Hex Window with that same file.

To activate this feature, select the Viewer window desired that is already open in Desktop Explorer, then go to the Tools - New Hex Window menu item.  The new Hex window will auto-load using the same file as in the selected window.
