FlexTK Makes File Management Easy


If you're like us, your hard drive is anything but tidy. That's because us power users can't be bothered to keep things organized - there are just too many awesome things out there to download, extract, and forget about because half of them turn out to be garbage.

FlexTK for Windows helps make short work of cleaning up after yourself, offering a full complement of file management tools in one handy package. Folder sync, duplicate file search, temp file cleanup, storage utilization, search, and an advanced organization module are all included. Navigation is handled beautifully in an explorer-like manner, tweaked by the addition of breadcrumbs and a "bookmarks" pane that allows you to quickly link your favorite locations.
The built-in search is wicked fast, taking a mere 2.25 seconds to return matches found in more than 51,000 files. Storage utilization and file type classification reports generate quickly and give you an accurate and detailed view of what kinds of files are eating up all the space you swear you had free on your hard drives. The cleanup tool is equally impressive, as it found nearly twice as much filesystem flotsam as CCleaner on the same test system in about one-third the time.

What really sets FlexTK apart is the insanely versatile organize feature, which allows you to set up complex routines for maneuvering your files. You can select any drive or folder, set up multiple searches and custom operations for each one, and even preview the action before actually executing it.

FlexTK packs a truckload of great features into a 3.9MB download, and is totally free. What's not to like?
