    Listary's described purpose has literally nothing to do with Explorer open/save dialogs, which is the singular focus of FiashFolder.

    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.)
