Using File Manager

Please Note: This page offers an overview of the File Manager features. For complete instructions on using these features, please refer to the How Do I? - Move/Copy/Delete Files section.

Uinversal Explorer is identical in apperance and functions to Window's Explorer.  Uinversal Explorer allows you to move, copy, rename, and delete files.  The major difference between Window's Explorer and Universal Explorer is that when you left-click on any individual file, that file will be opened into a Viewer/Editing window directly within the UE program.  You can assign any file extension to specific types of Viewing/Editing windows (Text, Browser, Graphic, Source Code, Binary/Hex, or Word or Excel Viewers).

The standard File Manager right-click options available in Window's Explorer are fully functional when using UE. Additionally, when you installed UE, it added a Universal Explorer option to the right-click menu when clicking on drives or directories (for quick access to launch UE) and it also added an Open with Universal Explorer option when right-clicking on an individual file while using other File Manager type programs. You may remove these listings in the Options - Configuration settings.

One of the great features in the UE File Manager system is the ability to display Split Screens by "View - Double Panel" menu commad. This is similar to opening multiple instances of Window's Explorer - except in UE, both File Manager windows open in the same screen - one above the other.  This allows you to quickly manager your files when working with different drives or directories.  The UE File Manager system fully supports Window's networks giving you access to your local drives along with all network drives.
