FileBox Extender for Windows

Very useful utility for the file opener/saver dialog boxes in Windows.

Here's a nifty little utility that allows you to set most often-used folders on your PC and access them quickly from a FILE OPEN dialogue box.

These little icons appear in all the File –> Open boxes in Windows. Which is very handy. Among the several customizations you can make to this oft-used file dialog box is the ability to automatically sort the file names by name, date, size, or type, and the ability to see the file names in Details or Thumbnails views. (Btw, the skin you see in that screenshot above is from Flyakiteosx).

How to Change FbX Button Images

You can tell a utility is well coded if you can customize it to your tastes. I have changed the icons that come with the tool as default (which are somewhat Win3.1-ish). This is simple. In the folder where you installed FileBox eXtender, there's a sub-folder named ICONS. Inside that are several standard format Windows icon files (with the extension .ICO). Copy a pair of these files into the main program folder, and then rename them to FAVORITE.ICO and RECENT.ICO. Now exit and restart FileBox eXtender. (In some cases you will have to reboot your machine—exiting and restarting the program may not be enough to effect the change). That's it. Your new icons should now appear.
