    Listery is small and fast. And it has the feature I wanted most, one that Listery calls Quick Switch. You go to open or save a file, and see the standard File Dialog Box. Click on an open Explorer Window, and then back to the file dialog box. The file dialog is now in the same folder as the Explorer window you clicked on.

    This is a huge timesaver for me, and the feature I most wanted.

    FileBox enhances Windows by adding several advanced functions to the standard Open File and Save File dialog boxes. (Note that if a program uses its own "private" dialog boxes for these functions, you wont see our FileBox buttons, sorry.)
