Control FreakControl Freak is a Windows File Manager that incorporates several applets into one seamless application. You get an Explorer like file manager, a full-featured email client, an FTP client, a zip file manager, a cab file manager, a powerful file finder, and an expanded control panel. It also has an Address Bar, The Command Line, which starts where Explorer's Address Bar leaves off.

 The File Manager 
In addition to normal file management duties you also get a file splitter/joiner, better support for shortcuts, and one click delete or recycle. Zip, cab, and email support is fully integrated. The Command Line at the top can be expanded to act as a folder view, or when not being used to select folders it has a number of built in features like a calculator, loan amortizer, and a file finder/filter just to name a few.

 Mail Call 
Mail Call is a full-featured email client supporting the SMTP Internet email protocol. It has support for HTML, plain text, and full web pages. Supports multiple mail accounts and has a Remote Mailbox for getting a quick peek of what is waiting for you. And, of course, you can send and receive binary file attachments.

 FTP It 
FTP It is a full-featured FTP client allowing you to log on to remote FTP servers to upload or download files. Because it is integrated with the file manager you have support for drag and drop or copy and paste file transfers.

 Zipster and Cabaret 
These two applets allow you to manage zip and cab files. Compress a single file or several folders to clean up clutter or get files ready for email. Both Zipster and Cabaret allow you to have several files open at once. They allow drag and drop or copy and paste file compression or extraction. Control Freak also comes with a small zip and cab file utility called Zippy for use with Windows Explorer and My Computer. You can add menus to Explorer's context menus so Zippy becomes integrated with Windows Explorer for expanded zip and cab file management.

 Lost & Found 
Not only is Lost & Found a powerful file finder but the Lost & Found window can be used as holding area for an unrelated group of files you want to perform a common task on. You can drag and drop or copy and paste files into the Lost & Found window. Once there you can perform any normal file management duties on the files.

 Command & Control 
This window gives you quick access to the Windows Control Panel, Printers, and Dial Up Networking, plus a host of other Windows utilities you may not have known existed.

 CF Rejoin 
CF Rejoin is a small program that you can download seperatly from Control Freak. This small file is only 35kb and can be used to rejoin files that were split with Control Freak. This is handy when the PC you are rejoining the files on does not have Control Freak Installed. Download CF Rejoin here.
