Unusual "overlayed" appearance - may be too over the top and
obtrusive; does show free space and other drive info; can be disabled We loved
the "go to application directory" feature.

Comments:
Great feature set. Lots of options
added to open/save dialogs providing. We especially liked the built-in file
finder. After some struggle the makers of file-ex showed us that MS Office is
indeed supported, it just requires a little extra work to import the right
template; but once configured it worked well. The drop down boxes are a bit
ugly and it may be a bit overwhelming and obtrusive for some, but others may
find them very useful and perfect for their tastes - definitely worth a try.

Comments:
Very actively developed. Support for plugins and some interesting
plugins already developed (virtual desktop, window rollup and minimize stuff).
Major focus is not on open/save dialog boxes, and may not be the most reliable
at modifying them. It's currently missing a lot of open/save dialog options and
so is not yet a good solution for those wanting mainly good open/save dialog
features.

We didn't like how favorite and

effective. Inability to add current folder to favorites is a big drawback, but
otherwise we were surprised by how good it was.

Comments:
A favorite of many, the company just disappeared one day; offers
some nice extra functionality. We liked the different options for display
(including cool invisible mode). We can't recommend a discontinued product for
this category because with changes in dialogs you need a product that will be
updated. Also, folder favorites are added to ie favorites directory, which is a
horrible solution since it clutters up your ie favorites
directories.

No ability to resize dialog or change default view. This is a
program which is probably only suitable for people who use windows explorer and
want to add buttons to it for their favorite places; it's not a full open/save
dialog extender. It does support a button that can be added to open/save
dialogs, though we had a little bit of trouble getting it to work.
