SpeedRunner 6.1.35.10756 | File size 3.6 MB
Most computer users have numerous folders and
partitions on their computers, and while novices are likely satisfied
with Windows Explorer for browsing through their files, experts might
require faster and more feature-packed apps to meet their requirements.
Such an alternative to Windows Explorer is SpeedRunner.
It needs
to be mentioned from the get-go that one needs to run this software
solution with administrative privileges or temporarily disable User
Account Control (UAC), otherwise the app does not run. In addition, the
host computer needs to have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or later installed so ensure the smooth operation of SpeedRunner.
The
interface of the utility is intuitive so as to allow beginners, as well
as pros, to take advantage of this multi-thread file manager. The main
window displays the currently taskbar-pinned applications, yet the users
can easily add new tabs if they want to be able to quickly switch
between explored folders.
Even though all actions can be
performed by using the mouse and clicking or right-clicking the icons of
SpeedRunner, its actual strength and speed comes from the numerous
keyboard shortcuts it supports, so once they get used to them, power
users can complete all their tasks using solely the keyboard (such as
creating or closing tabs and navigating around the pinned shortcuts).
Another
feature of SpeedRunner is that it relies on color codes for each file
format it detects, thus helping users get a clear overview of their
documents – furthermore, one can choose which format gets a certain
color, and new groups can also be created, depending on the file types
users typically work with.
The Settings window is the place
where it is possible to further fine-tune SpeedRunner to make it
suitable for each user's necessities: the AeroGlass can be disabled, the
hidden containers can be made visible and the shortcuts can be ordered
by usage time.
All on all, SpeedRunner is indeed a reliable
alternative to Windows Explorer, especially since it runs smoothly on
the latest OS flavors and leaves plenty of room for user customization.
