Over the years, I have extolled the virtues of Resco File Explorer in its many iterations. Somehow I neglected to mention the recent release of the 2008 version. I just discovered my oversight when I installed it on a new device, for it is always one of the must-have programs that I automatically install on any new device. So, for those of you who are not acquainted with the manifold features of this incredible program or perhaps I should say suite of programs, let me give you the highlights.
What’s new?
New features include the increasingly popular finger navigation, virtual folders for similar type documents, quick search, and letter bar navigation. You can turn the finger navigation feature on and off if you wish.
Virtual folders enable users to find files of the same type grouped together so that you don’t have to search through multiple folders. The default virtual folders that group files include documents, encrypted files, images, music, and videos. The program allows you to create your own virtual folders based on extension type.
Quick Search allows you to start typing the letters of a file, and a predictive engine will find them much like finding names in a contact list.
Letter bar navigation allows you to tap on a letter bar on the right side of the file list to take you quickly where you want to go.
Tap and hold any button on the screen to get a preview of its function—a handy feature for getting acquainted.
There are several new options available that affect the appearance and behavior of different program elements.
Major Features
This program is far more than the mundane file explorer that comes with Window Mobile. File navigation is just the beginning. It’s also a registry editor, an FTP explorer, a Today plugin for launching your favorite aps, a zip compressor, a network browser, and a recycle bin recovery agent. These powerful features bring the functionality of your pocket pal to a whole new level.
Other attributes
It offers a multi-language user interface, system information, folder properties and attribute setting, file type highlighting, file encryption, quick send folder function, and built-in viewer for popular file type. It installs encryption and send to add-in elements when you right click on the desk top PC. It will format storage cards and send almost any file via InfraRed beaming. It also supports square screen devices.
Conclusion
The robust functionality of this program clearly makes it a must-have on any Windows Mobile device. Try it out for seven days free or purchase it for $29.95 by visiting www.resco.net. If you divided the price by the number of applications included, they would probably be around a buck a piece. What an extraordinary value.
