    Duration of ownership: 4 Years

    Strengths: Run Win XP Pro on all my PCs. FbX is automatically the first utility I load on a PC. It is one of those programs that I use without thinking about it - all the time! It is very configurable within the bounds of what it does, ie. puts a drop down in almost every file dialog (like Open/Save/Select) that lets me home in right away on the folder/file I want. And the tray icon is just great. I use it instead of File Explorer all the time - again, I have it set up to list all the folders/disks/etc that I want - (and can even open docs and files for editing) within two clicks. I'm lazy!

    Weaknesses: Sure, like Dave found it can take a bit if "bedding down" but once you have it set up it just works. eg. I just had lots of problems when I installed a new ver of Skype. Turned out to be interaction with FbX - and it was as simple as telling FbX to "Ignore this program" in Settings.

    Overall Evaluation: As a computer person for over 25 years, I believe a utility should be like a hammer - I just pick it up and use it. Shouldn't have to think about the how/compatibility/etc etc. This program is like that... An indispensable tool on my PC. I'm an unrepenting fanboy of this prog :-)

    Strengths: The ability to more quickly access your favorite folders.

    Weaknesses: My OS is Windows XP Pro. The favorites add/remove function on the title bar was stuck on one folder, not showing the current folder as it should. Registration to the program forum is suspended, so I can't even try to get any help with the problem. As soon as the installation was complete, AVG antivirus was insisting that TrueInstall.exe is a trojan horse. This may be a false positive, but...

    Overall Evaluation: The program isn't working right, no support, possible virus. Can't recommend it for XP users; maybe it works better in Vista.
