Ever wish you could find out more about a file without actually, you know, opening it? InfoTag Magic is Windows shell extension utility that lets you read file information for certain file types just by hovering your mouse over a file.

For example, with music files including MP3, WAM, OGG Vorbis, and other audio types, InfoTag Magic will show you the ID3 information including artist, title, album, duration, and year.

With plain text files including TXT, INI, LOG, and BAT files, InfoTag Magic will display a preview of the text contained in the file when you hover your mouse. The program will also display properties like target file name and location for Windows shortcuts and version information for executable files.
