This is official description
Instantly view files, music, video, PowerPoint and graphics...copy and paste...print...display file properties... in Windows Explorer!
An instant File Viewer for any file:
- Without the file's original software application installed;
- In Windows Explorer, without having to start and close each separate application;
- In a secure and protected preview environment.
- You never need to wait for bloated software to open a file - only to find its the wrong file.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 4.2
Explorer View is a very interesting add-on for your Windows Explorer. It adds a feature often present in some open source explorers like Konqueror or Nautilus, mainly under Linux. With Explorer View, you can get a lightning fast preview of many file formats: Word/PDF/Text documents, Excel Spreadsheets, and even multimedia files like audio or video ones.
The good part is that this program offers various options to enhance the viewing experience: for example, the possibility to view the Excel spreadsheets as hexadecimal text, to copy contents, and a complete feature to find contents using some criteria. Images can be rotated, zoomed, and printed, and audio files can be played.
Please note that as any Explorer Addon, it is recommended to start it automatically when Windows starts. Moreover, this behavior implies a constant memory usage (in my case it is about 7MB), take this into account before using it.
Maybe a major drawback consists in the 30-day trial period. But of course, if you liked the software, you can buy it at any time. |
