Windows Toolbox: Get More Out of Explorer With FolderBox

In many cases, moving or copying files from one folder to another involves opening multiple Explorer windows and then futzing with their sizes and positions to make dragging and dropping the files between them easy. Instead of shelling out for a third-party file manager that lets you carve a single window into multiple folder panes, try BaxBex Software's free FolderBox. This simple Explorer extension adds an extra folder pane to Explorer. Just install the program and choose View, Explorer Bar, FolderBox. The program works with all versions of Windows and supports most file views (except Thumbnails). FolderBox remembers the folder's window-pane arrangement when you reopen it in a new Explorer session. It even works with Internet Explorer windows.
