Languages: English
Description: Turbo Navigator is a very fast, very powerful, very versatile and very informative file manager - and that's just for starters. Turbo Navigator features a two-pane window display that enabled user to see the contents of two different file folders (directories) at the same time. This feature is essential for the efficient copying, moving and reorganisation of files. Attention to detail is present in every corner of TN. While copying files from one location to another, a plethora of information is provided (copying speed, file size, disk space remaining...) that most other applications omit. The user interface is uncluttered and, if you are a regular PC user, it should readily be understandable without any reference to help files etc.

File Renamer

1-4a Rename
(Requestware)
OS: Windows (32-bit)
Languages: English
Description: 1-4a Rename is a file renamer which renames many files at once. Has Undo. You can preview changes instantly, thus no danger. Now with STAR TREK stardate / startime. Tons of functions. Perfect for .jpg, .mp3, digital camera files... Works in networks and with subdirectories. Fast, even with many files. No installation needed + fits on a floppy COMMENTS: This program has a definitely weird interface, and some rather immature-ish features (Eleet, stardate, etc). Nevertheless it is the one I always come back to for serious renaming. Not for the non-techie user, but when you get the hang of it then it is both extremely powerful and fast/easy to use. A usability hint: set the command line switches in a shortcut. For ex "C:\Program Files\1-4a-rename\rename.exe" /noc /e c:\mydownloadpath. Then always start by unchecking the darn "typical song standards" box.

Languages:
Description: Splitter & Merger is a tool whose function is to split large files into maller and easy to manage ones. * Splitter & Merger is able to compress files before splitting them. With a reduced file, fewer parts are generated and as a result the split file is easier to transport. As opposed to many similar tools, Splitter & Merger splits the files at very high speed. * Its reduced size of 29Kb makes it very easy to transport and compared to similar products it doesn't depend on external files like DLLs, OCXs, etc. * Splitter & Merger can generate the first part as an executable module (SFX). As a result S&M can rejoin the parts again in another computer without S&M installed. * Splitter & Merger can integrate with the Windows shell. Now users can split any file by right-clicking on it and choosing "Split with Splitter & Merger". In a similar way the parts can be rejoined easily by right-clicking the appropriate .SPL file and choosing "Merge" from the Windows context menu. * Splitter & Merger can split files easily by dragging any file and dropping it over S&M icon (and rejoin files by dragging the appropriate .SPL file). * Splitter & Merger can generate the parts directly to a removable unit (like diskettes) and also make disk spanning. To do this you must select ?autodetect" as the part size. (Read the manual for more details.) * Splitter & Merger has no limit to the size of the file to split. It can split files bigger than 4.2 GB without problems.

Restoration

OS: Windows 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP
Languages: English
Description: Restore files which are deleted from the recycle bin or deleted while holding down the Shift key by mistake. Conversely, this program has another function that makes it almost impossible to restore all deleted files. You can use it after deletion of confidential documents, embarrassing files and so on.You don't have to install it, so it doesn't leave any garbage in the PC. (You can also run it from a floppy disk.) Even if a file seems to be restored, there is no guarantee that the contents are correct. After you run the program, please check the files. You can probably restore it correctly if the drive has enough free space and if it's just after deletion. If you restore a folder, there is no guarantee that all files or folders which used to belong to the folder will be in it. If you can't find them in it, please search and restore them one by one. If you still can't find them, it's impossible to restore them. It will be almost impossible to restore any deleted files if you run the complete deletion function. To be exact, fragments of deleted files can be in last clusters of existing files or allocated and unwritten files. (Note that this function is not suitable for TOP SECRET information.) Even if you find the information of completely deleted files, their contents must be erased. If you want to erase the information too, please run the function again.

QuickSFV
(Donationware)
OS: Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP
Languages: English
Description: Quick Verification: QuickSFV was designed with one goal ... to be quick! Existing SFV file verification programs were slow and cumbersome to use. Most users need to verify files and the quicker, the better. QuickSFV integrates into the Windows Explorer shell and makes it very easy to verify files. Just double-click on the .SFV file and QuickSFV does the rest. QuickSFV also understands several other file verification formats including .CRC, .CSV and .CKZ. For even quicker verification of .SFV files, QuickSFV remembers which files have been previously verified and will skip them in future checks. You can always tell QuickSFV to go back and verify all files again just to be sure. Quick Creation: The same fast CRC engine inside QuickSFV can also be used to create .SFV files. From Windows Explorer, just select the files you wish to include in the .SFV files, right-click on them and select Create .SFV File. Quick Features: QuickSFV has many other features to help minimize the work in verifying files. From the line-by-line analysis, to the ending summary information, to hitting ESC to close the window, QuickSFV was designed to eliminate all of the bottlenecks in verifying files so you can get to the important stuff.

Description: FSRaid is a data recovery tool that uses PAR files. If you're not sure what PAR files are, read on... Have you ever downloaded a large set of files that is completely useless because a small subset of those files were corrupt or missing? If the person distributing these files had made a set of PAR files and placed them online, your problems might just be solved. Just download the PAR files and place them in the same directory as your data files. If the number of PAR files is equal to or exceeds the number of corrupt files, then the PAR files can be used to restore the original files. PAR files contain very rigorous fingerprinting data on the original file set, so with a tool like FSRaid, you can accurately determine which of your original files is valid, which are corrupt, etc. It does not matter how many files are corrupt, as long as you have as many, or more, PAR files than you have corrupt or missing data files. It also does not matter which files go bad. A single PAR file can restore any one of the original files.
