Advanced File Manager For Windows 95, 98, NT 4 and 2000
 

 

 

 
What is it?

QuickShell is file manager built by long time programmers and power users.

We needed something like that for everyday use, just couldn't work without it, so we did it and then decided to go public.

We confidently feel that Quickshell is simply the first thing you should download on any new computer configuration. 
  Some features
Full Zip support, RAR and ACE support (test, view extract), descriptions support, navigator interface, bookmarks, unique directory QuickGo, internal high performance viewer for text (No limits whatsoever, editing, printing and filtering included), Hex, jpeg, gif, bmp, avi, midi, wav, Dialogic vox and more! Filter capabilities by any extension with multiple wildcards, sorting by size, name, creation date or comment all with a single click. Multiple rename (with an extremely powerful interface). Fully featured mp3 tag editor! View, Minimize QuickShell to the tray bar with the speed of a configurable hot-key and reopen it at the same speed. Automatic load at startup to have it always there when you need it. Optimized programming will not waste your memory or system resources while staying in background! Its cached multithreaded structure gives you power and flexibility and collects information during idle times of your computer. Move or delete files to or from a ZIP file like if it was a standard directory. Growing in power and flexibility with each new release, and all of our registered users always get new versions for free (the same day they are released)!
  News
02 feb 2001 We've moved to a new server. Expect to see several news in the next days.
Unfortunately, while moving from one ISP to another, a link became broken, thus causing some downloads to be unusable. Now everything should be fixed (feel free to let us know if you find any problem).
Thank you.
22 may 2000 1.34 Version 1.34 released. Few bug fixes from version 1.33. This version will be distributed to shareware archives.
Web site slightly modified, by today, all of our registered users should have received their new security keys. If you are a registered user and have not received yours yet, it  is now time to contact us.
After a long time wait, version 1.33 goes to public release! Thanks to all who supported us by registering. NOTE: the security scheme has been been greatly improved to make sure using illegally pirated keys will result in a subtle malfunctioning software. This new scheme (which for its nature, is not expected to change again in a near future) requires new security keys. If you are a registered user, Hang on.. you will receive your new key shortly. If you haven't received it in a month or so from today, don't hesitate to contact us.

  The "Banner Dilemma"

This banner was created when we first released QuickShell, and was originally meant to be used with the LinkExchange network. I only recently got to see the click trough statistics showing some horribly low (~ 0.4 %) CLICK/VIEWERS ratio. now the question is.. is it that ugly? Online voting soon :-)
