Full Shell Integration
With the introduction of Windows 95, the 'desktop metaphor' came to the PC world. A central idea is that the storage tree is rooted on the desktop, with all other folders originating there. Probe fully supports this approach. A significant advantage of a single rooted storage tree, is that there's only one tree to browse for a Tree Browser.
So called 'shell folders', such as 'My Computer', 'Network Neighborhood', ...etc, are easily accessible from within Probe. Since the file popup menus used within the Explorer file-manager are a subset of those used in Probe, all popup file menu items available in the Explorer file-manager are available from Probe in the same way.

Probe fully conforms with Windows Drag&Drop. That is, files may be dragged from Probe and dropped onto external applications, or vice versa, and, of course, dragged and dropped within Probe as well. This makes it possible, for example, to drag images from an FTP site, dropping them onto your image viewer.
