What is Free File Utility?

Free File Utility

Free File Utility is a handy tool that helps you manage your files in various ways. You can change file properties, calculate hashes, compare files, and even search for files in folders to replace them. Plus, it’s great for analyzing disk space!

Features of Free File Utility

This software has some awesome features that power PC users will love. The best part? You don’t need to install it! Just run it with administrative privileges to access all its cool options.

User-Friendly Interface

The interface looks pretty classic with a single window split into multiple panes. It’s set up so you can jump right into configuring things without any hassle.

File Access Options

You can open, create, truncate, or append files with different access levels like read, write, or both. Plus, you can adjust the file sharing mode to read-only, read and write, or even delete items.

Modify File Timestamps and Attributes

Want to change file timestamps? No problem! You can also set attributes like read-only or hidden. And if you’re curious about the MD5 or SHA1 hash of a file—or even compare sizes between two files or folders—this tool has got your back!

Search and Replace Files Easily

The built-in searcher lets you look for files within a specific directory (with or without subfolders). It checks names and lets you use filters based on names or extensions to find exactly what you need.

Disk Examination Made Simple

The disk examination utility comes with a folder explorer to choose which drive or directory you want to scan. After checking all the contained files, it sorts them by age or extension so you can see the oldest and largest ones easily—and decide what to remove for more space!

No Stability Issues During Testing

We didn’t run into any issues while testing Free File Utility; it didn’t freeze up or crash at all! Tasks were completed quickly while using minimal CPU and RAM resources.

A Few Drawbacks

However, keep in mind that Free File Utility isn’t super intuitive. Casual users might find it a bit tricky to navigate at first. Also, it hasn’t seen updates in quite some time.
