XtraFolders

XtraFolders is a Windows utility that was designed with ease of use in mind by, by tightly integrating its functionality with the operating system itself. There are 4 types of XtraFolders, and as the name suggests, each is in essence a normal Windows folder. This means that each folder is used just like any other Windows folder. Still, there are some useful tools in the background.

Clones: Clone folders let you mirror folders. It will create exact duplicates of all files and sub-folders contained within them. You can create any number of Clones from a single Source folder. When a file or folder is added, modified, deleted or renamed, the corresponding Clones are immediately synchronized to the Source folder.

Trails: Trail folders let you keep a complete history of all changes to any files it contains. Each time a change is made to a file in a Trail folder, a copy is made automatically. You will never overwrite a file again and not be able to go back to a previous version.

Timers: Timers are folders that have a specific time associated with each. When the clock strikes, all files within the Timer folder are "opened" automatically. Use it to set yourself important reminders throughout the day. Or run a program that performs some other action at a specific time.

Start: Start folders automatically "opens" any file that is dropped into it. This can be used to run a program on another PC (distributed processing), or send someone a document and have it immediately opened on their PC.
