Welcome to FileLister Pro  -  Version 1.03

FileLister Pro Is Shareware - This evaluation copy can be run 15 times before it expires.

If you like the program, it can be purchased and registered for $19.95.  Please read the Order.txt file for ordering information.

FileLister Pro will inventory and display every file on every storage device attached to your system, including files on network drives. Files are sorted and displayed in Long File Name order, regardless of where the files are located on your system. Files can also be sorted in any file property order. Each file and its properties are displayed on a separate line. FileLister Pro offers single click access to the complete system File Property Page for any specific file, and single click access to File Maintenance Operations, such as: Copy, Move, Delete, and Rename, all within FileLister Pro. There is a Quick Search feature that immediately finds files, and a Find Duplicates feature that immediately locates and highlights all duplicate files on your system.  The displayed file list can be saved as a single file on your hard drive, and can be used for future reference.  The displayed files can also be formatted and printed to any printer on your system. 

FileLister Pro is designed to run on Windows 95/98/NT operating systems.

   click on FileLister Pro, and the program will automatically be deleted from your system.
   
		
To Use FileLister Pro:

1.	Go to Start, click on Programs, click on FileLister Pro, then click on FileLister Pro 
	again.  Or, in Windows Explorer, go to the directory where you placed the file FLP.exe, and double-click the file FLP.exe.  
	FileLister Pro runs in a window.  We suggest that if you are running this program on a 17" monitor or larger, to resize the window or go to full screen in order to display more file information on the screen, rather than by running the program in its original window.
	
2.	Once the program is loaded Filelister Pro automatically identifies every storage device   
	attached to your system, including network drives.  This is displayed on the lower left side of the screen.  Select the drives you want to search by placing a check mark next to the drive(s).
	
3.	On the Menu Bar, click on Sort, and choose the way you would like the files to be sorted 
	and displayed.  The default setting is to sort the files by Long FileName in ascending order.
	
4.	Then click the Display button.  FileLister Pro will then do its work.
	As the program is searching your drives, a file count is constantly updated and displayed at the bottom of the screen.
	
5.	Once FileLister Pro is done searching all drives selected, it will then sort the files 
	according to your sort selection, and then display all your files.  You can then scroll vertically to see your files.  By scrolling horizontally, you will be able to see additional data about your files.
	
6.	If you would like to see the files displayed in a different sort sequence, go to the 	
	Menu Bar click on Sort, and choose a different sort option.  FileLister Pro will instantly resort the displayed files.
	
7.	After the files are displayed, you can use the Quick Search feature to immediately 
	locate a specific file, or you can scroll to the area you are looking for.                                                                                                              To use the Quick Search feature, the files must be sorted in ascending filename order.  Click Search on the Menu bar, click Quick Search, and type in what you are searching for.  The search is not case sensitive; you can type in small or capital letters.  After you have typed in what you are looking for, you have 2 choices.  If you hit the Enter Key, the search will be started, results displayed, and the program will return to the Quick Search box in order to type in the next search argument.  If you hit the Tab Key, the search will be started, results displayed, the Quick Search box will be erased, and the program will be placed in a wait state, waiting for the next program request.
	FileLister Pro uses a loose search algorithm.  When the search is completed, the display does not necessarily show the file you were searching for on the first line of the screen.  If there is an exact match on file names, the file name and its properties will appear on the first row of the display.  If there is not an exact match on file names, the next closest match will appear in the first row of the display.  If you do not know the exact name of a file, just type the first few characters and hit the Enter Key.  Files that come close to what you typed in will be displayed.  


8.	By double-clicking on a selected file, the complete File Property Page for that file 
	will be displayed.

9. 	By right clicking on a selected file, the File Operations screen will be displayed, 
	which will allow you to copy, move, delete, or rename, that file.
	
10.	By clicking on the Clear button, FileLister Pro will clear the screen and reset the 
	program.  After the screen is cleared, you can then select a different set of drives to search and display.
	
	
After installing FileLister Pro, run the program and read the Help file for a more complete description on how to use FileLister Pro, and to read the complete licensing agreement.


FileLister Pro will make it quick and easy to see what and where files are located on your system.  Especially if your files are located on different storage devices or partitions, duplicate files will be seen immediately, allowing various file operations to be performed right within FileLister Pro.
