KO Approach

Click on a folder icon in Explorer and navigate a menu to locate files quicker

This shell enhancement allows you to access your files quicker. Just click on a folder icon in Windows Explorer, hold mouse button pressed for a while, and a menu will appear displaying the folder's contents. Navigate this menu and its sub-menus, and locate even a deeply buried file. Quickly browse the entirety of the Parent folder by CTRL+clicking the title bar of any Explorer window. Click the program's Tray Icon to instantly access your favorite items via a customizable menu. A list of recent Run commands can also be displayed. The included plug-in modules enable previewing graphics files of most popular formats (GIF, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PCX, PNG), previewing text files, as well as playing back WAV sounds. Another plug-in extends Contextual Menus. With additional commands you can copy to clipboard the path to the selected file or shortcut target. For directories, you can copy the full directory listing.
