FileBox eXtender

What is FileBox eXtender ?


FileBox promotes productivity by enhancing Windows; adding several advanced functions to the standard Open File andSave File dialog boxes. (Note that if a program uses its own "private" dialog boxes for these functions, you won't see the FileBox buttons.)


FileBox adds two handy buttons to these standard dialogs. These appear on the right side of the Windows dialog box title bars. These buttons appear next to the minimize, restore, and maximize buttons with which you're probably already familiar.


FileBox can also forcibly resize the standard Windows file management dialog boxes so they're bigger, and thus easier to use if you've got lots of files in a folder through which you need to look. 
The pictures below show a small part of the Windows standard Open File dialog box and with the FileBox eXtender buttons:

FileBox eXtender adds also a "push-pin" button to your "top level" windows. This function prevents any window you "pin" to the desktop from being covered by any other windows. This is great when you want to keep an eye on one program, but use another. (For example, watching to a video while browsing your Facebook in a browser.)


Another FileBox enhancement is the "roll-up" button added to top level windows. When you click it, the window is "rolled up" leaving only its title bar visible, and uncovering what was underneath it. Click that button again, and the window rolls back down. The Always on Top andRollup commands can be also displayed on the system menu of any window.
