Introducing...
Have you ever felt, that the Explorer in Microsoft® Windows® XP is pretty nice to work with under normal circumstances, but that it sometimes lacks some of the comfort that the File Manager in the old days of Windows® 3.1 or even DOS provided? Have you ever searched for a file in a list of some 500 files whose extension you knew for sure was e.g. ".CDR", but you could not quite remember the name of the application you would have to look for in the "Type" field of the Explorer's detail view? Have you ever been looking in the Windows® Registry for the name of a file located in "Program Files", but could not find it, because the Registry entry used the short filename "Progra~1" instead? Did you ever try to make a backup of your running Windows® XP
installation, started the copy process and went away to have a cup of coffee
while your PC was doing the work? Did it do the work? No? Do you sometimes use the DOS command window of Windows® to get things done?
If you do not know, what I am talking about:

Explorer Buddy extends the capabilities of the Windows
Explorer by adding a context menu to the detail view. The user can select and
manipulate files by using wildcard expressions, even recursively into sub-
folders. Problems that may arise during lengthy file operations are anticipated
and taken care of before operations start. Batch operations run without
interruptions by message boxes that the operating system might otherwise pop up.
Operations include Wildcard Select for Drag & Drop, Wildcard Rename,
Wildcard Move, Wildcard Copy, Wildcard Delete and Wildcard Change File
Attributes. Explorer Buddy generates reports with detailed information as to
which operations succeeded and which failed. Furthermore, Explorer Buddy adds to
additional columns to Windows Explorer's detail view, giving the user the
possibility to sort by file extension (like *.exe or *.bak) and to view the
short (8.3) names of files.
