File Ho! -- File Management with Resco Explorer 2007

Posted by Don Tolson in "SOFTWARE" @ 08:00 AM



Product Category: Software – File Management
Manufacturer: Resco
Where to Buy: MobiHand [Affiliate]
Price: $29.99 USD A fully-functioning 14-day trial version is available.
System Requirements: Pocket PC 2003, Windows Mobile 5 or 6. PC Desktop extensions work with Window 95/98ME/2000/XP and Vista.
Specifications: Resco Explorer 2007 requires 735K memory; Registry Editor requires 105K; FTP Add-in requires 140K; Today Plug-in requires 80K. Desktop PC extensions (for encryption and file transfer) require 187K.

Pros:
  • Very powerful and flexible package of tools;
  • Interface is intuitive and well laid out;
  • Provides ability to transfer files to the PPC without using ActiveSync!
  • Today plugin includes the ability to shut down running applications directly.

    Cons:
  • Requires use of stylus to access file operations on Pocket Phone Edition (not really one-handed operation capable);
  • A 'Send To' function from PPC to Desktop without ActiveSync would be a great addition!

    Summary:
    When you start delving deeper into the inner workings of your Pocket PC, you quickly find that the basic tools provided by the Windows Mobile O/S are just that – basic. You need to expand and upgrade the toolkit to get any real work done. Resco's Explorer is a package of powerful and feature-rich file management tools which have been around for a number of years now. So how does the 2007 version (v6) stack up?
