TrayProdder Adds Vista-Style Checkboxes And Selection To XP

Windows XP only: Free system utility TrayProdder adds some of Windows Vista’s handier file-handling tools, checkbox selection and full-row highlighting, to Windows XP. The small app doesn’t require installation, so you can try out selecting multiple items by checking them off, rather than praying you don’t slip off the Control key, without burdening your system. All properties of each file are also highlighted while in “Details” view, which is great for shuffling music, movies, and big files around. One quirk of TrayProdder, though, is that you use the actual app’s utility window to select, copy, or otherwise handle the files you’ve checked, though it can be convenient, too, depending on what you’re doing.
