I've used it for years, a program that I can't do without now on my PC, and it's one of the very few programs on my PC that isn't freeware (it is now, but it was shareware when I bought a licence for it so I still consider it shareware ;-) It basically allows you to set up a number of commonly used folders, and it attachs a button to windows explorer 'file' dialogs, allowing you to click on the button, select one of these folders you want to go to, and then it will automatically take you there, without you having to click your way through an explorer file browse dialog. It basically saves you a huge amount of time if you spend a bit of time in explorer's file browsing dialogs. It also puts a 'recently used folders' button on the dialogs as well, so it catches folders that you haven't yet set up as favourites too. The version from the download page is the stable, 'runs on versions of Windows up to and including XP' version. If you are running Vista, there is a version available for Vista - it's a Beta technically, but I'm running it on my PC and apart from the odd file dialog it can't handle (admin running windows mainly, the normal Vista user account being a non-admin account), it works fine and is stable. The download link for the Vista version is in the FileBox forums (link is on the Hyperionics website). -- Regards, Grumpy
