Download/HomepageThere are many ways to explore system to find folders and files, but none
quicker than with ShellGEM, a very slick -- well, okay, shrewd --menu browser that's added
to your Windows 95 context-menu. If you think using Windows Explorer is easy, just open it
up and right-click on the C drive. Click on ShellGEM, and find out what "easy"
really is.
Once you've installed ShellGEM, a "ShellGEM" item is added to the context menu,
accessed by a right-click. An additional click gives you another submenu of not only C
drive folders, but a list of clickable Explore options and features unique to
ShellGEM.
They include a History entry (for folder actions done via ShellGEM), a Favorites entry
(for your favorite target folders), and Options (for selecting how you want
ShellGEM to
operate). And of course, you get point-and-click access anywhere on your installed drives.
Just point your mouse to any folder, and watch another submenu open up to display its
contents; you can Explore up and down the entire tree structure of your drives, with the
ease of just moving your mouse. When you locate an often-used folder or file, you can add
it to your ShellGEM Favorites, making your next access possible from the top of the tree.
Navigating with ShellGEM is completely intuitive, and is easier done than described. Once
you've accessed a target item (file or folder), ShellGEM allows you drag-and-drop
capability to move or copy to the new location. There's also a Zip capability in the
standard version, allowing you to extract zip/compressed files into the folder of your
choice.
New "Options" on the standard version allow you to : select/deselect folder
icons, show/hide hidden objects, show/hide removable drives, show/hide special objects
(e.g., Control Panel in "My Computer"), show separators in the root menu,
show/deselect items you do/don't want accessed via ShellGEM, sort files by extension or
name, show associated files or hide those without associations, open target folder for
move, copy or extract functions.
A complete Help file in the standard version explains ShellGEM functions and feature
usage. In the beta version these features are disabled: Options, History, Favorites, and
Help.
Despite its lesser function, the beta version's existing Explore functions work fine, and
it's well worth downloading (for free) until the standard version is available (which will
be soon). In fact, beta users who register the1.0b7 copy, at a cost of $8, can upgrade to
the standard version (which is priced at $14.95) at no extra cost.
