Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
PowerDesk Pro 5 is a simple, fast and fun way to organize and manage files, digital photos, MP3 music files and web images on your PC. It's convenient and it saves time! In just one, two or three clicks, you can customize your PC: move, copy, zip, label, color code, search, view, prioritize, convert, and use your files the way you want to use them.

Already own PowerDesk? Well, it just got better! With Version 5, we not only kept all the existing features but we enhanced them and added even more, such as digital camera and MP3 support, making it ultra useful.

PowerDesk Pro 5 is a luxury edition of a file manager and offers more features and functionality than the limited file manager offered in Windows or other file management software. It completely replaces Windows Explorer, giving users a wide array of tools to search, edit, delete, move, sort, view and copy files, including those found on digital cameras or MP3 music players.

PowerDesk has been receiving kudos from editors, writers, reviewers and users for years. It has won numerous awards and sparkling reviews from PC Magazine, Windows Magazine, and PC World, to name a few. Find out why the world's best file manager just got better today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Make file management a pleasure not a chore, 20 Oct 2003
By A Customer
It’s hard to get excited about file managers, but it is not too hard to get frustrated with Windows Explorer. It does so much less than it might; and it can be awkward to use.

Realising the limitations of Explorer, many people will have added a variety of utilities or switched to one of the widely available, freeware versions of Powerdesk. Life with Powerdesk is immediately easier. Dual panes make drag-and-drop file management a doddle, the viewer pane stops unnecessary firing up of applications and the integrated zip manager puts that function where it belongs.

So what does Powerdesk Pro 5 offer in addition? - Too much to mention in a short review, and more features in total than any one user is ever likely to need; but it is nice to know they are there, just in case.

One major enhancement is the integrated ftp function. Load the details of the distant site once, and drag-and-drop access is yours on demand. Other notable tricks are the ability to play MP3 files from the viewer pane, variable size thumbnail views of graphics files, the power to add descriptive annotations to files; and to search for those lost Word documents by author, title or subject. Then there is graphics file conversion, batch renaming of files and the ability to create self-extracting zips. The list goes on.

Of course, many of Powerdesk Pro’s functions are also available from separate utilities; but consider the advantage of having so much in one place, cleanly packaged and well supported by easy-to-follow help files and a front-end that can be tailored to suit your way of working.

On the downside - there has to be a downside – you may experience the occasional “illegal operation” requiring the program to be restarted, but without any adverse effects on the rest of your machine. Also, the lazy might complain that there is quite a lot to learn.

Is it worth the upgrade? For users of Windows Explorer, even moving to the freeware version would be a big step up. The gap between the basic Powerdesk and Powerdesk Pro 5 is similarly impressive; and the latest version appears faster and more stable than early versions of the freeware program. So the answer, for anyone using a computer on a daily basis and for more than basic emailing and letter writing, is a resounding “yes”.

It is almost guaranteed to increase your productivity and to improve your temper when under stress.

5.0 out of 5 stars A further endorsement, 15 Mar 2004
By Mr. John W. Clifton "Smile IT Ltd" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I can only re-iterate the views of the other review available here. An excellent product. I use it all the time for viewing photographs with the viewer pane, converting photos from .bmp to .jpg etc. Yes, there are other/better tools available, but all these tools in one package for this price? I don't think so.
There are also some extra tools available - an improved File Finder program, a Folder Synchronizer (perfect for taking backups of folders to zip drives, memory sticks etc), Size Manager (find out which folders are hogging your disk space) and a toolbar which includes a quick launcher, clock (digital or analogue), CPU/memory/disk space meters, printer icons and so on.
To conclude, if anything either of these reviews says has sparked your imagination, just buy the product. You will definitely not be disappointed!
