Adding comments to files and directories.

Zip as folders, packing, unpacking with ease.

ACFAT – find a file in a second! This service can index a chosen drive, and so you can query this index in a second, more: drive indexing.

Requirements: Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP Between the features and the price, this is a file manager that I won’t delete right away. The ‘file filter’ feature (use wildcards to sort files) is well located and works exactly as you’d expect. The built-in text editor was easy to use, as was ‘quick launch’ section. Also, you can fit A43 on a floppy and take it with you to use on any PC (doesn’t require an installation). The drag-and-drop zip/unzip and rar/unrar feature is pretty neat – if I made zip files often I would find this very helpful. Its response time was very quick while renaming, moving and copying files. It dropped down to 3mb of RAM after 15 seconds of not using it.

Keep it on your pen/jump drive and take it where ever you go.Ī43 took up about 18mb of RAM after using it for 5 minutes.

A43’s configuration information is saved in a local.

Requires no installation, no data is written to the system registry.

Dual-pane view for those that demand speed in file management.

Favourite buttons to quickly open those often used folders.

Integrated quick launch area for fast access to the programs you use the most.

Integrated file search to quickly locate and jump to those lost files.
