These are some of the handy-dandy pocket
knives of the computer that I find indispensable. Most are
free/shareware, or limited usability till you upgrade to the "Pro"
versions to get more features. I find few have I had to "upgrade" to Pro
versions, and many of the "free"ware versions work just fine.

unlocker1.8.5
Free |
If you get a file you can't delete,
it is usually because some program is linked to it and usually it's
windows explorer because you looked at the file. Unlocker is
installed in the
right click menu and can break links. |
|
| FileLocator Lite |
https://mythicsoft.com/filelocatorlite for the free file. Great for
looking for a file within a drive or folder, that you know the name for
but not where you put it. |

Free Commander
Old
New |
Free Commander is my
favorite windows explorer replacement, two panes for transferring files
between two folders. The Old version has a folder list for each pane.
The new version looks slicker but only has one folder list for both
panes, which I find confusing, as to which pane is active when I want to
switch a folder. |
