FileAnt

FileAnt is a Windows File Manager (like explorer) on tabs, it is also a cool Ftp Client and has nice features such as folder pie charts, and a viewer for commonly used file formats. It loads quickly from the tray and uses very little memory to achieve what it does. The Ftp Client is semi-intelligent, multi-download (you can keep browsing while downloading lots of files) and written from scratch by me using the winsock. The Pie Chart features 2D telescopic browsing. Advanced tools let you modify file dates, sync folders, and change file attributes en masse. There is also a nice little mp3 player in the tray.

FileAnt supports XP themes. FileAnt does not interfere with explorer and does not attempt to do any strange or annoying stuff to your pc. FileAnt will use some of the same settings as explorer, such as 'show extension'. You can configure many extra settings such as background and font colors. It also has some 2000 advanced file manager features, such as thumbnails (which will even work on Win9x).

The most useful feature to me is the multi-panels which allows us to view several folders at the same time; it is much easier and efficient to manage files and folder with FileAnt.
