Vebwiev

I came across this application while surfing in AXP. A member there by the nick of Ke0 found it and it seems like a promising application for getting a fully functional finder in XP. :wub: Check it out right HERE.

Oh, and it's free.

Vebwiev is a custom Webview for Windows Explorer. (View of Windows explorer invoked by selecting 'View as Web Page'). It is compatible with Windows 98 / ME / 2k / XP. Vebwiev gives your boring Windows Explorer a new look. Check out the screenshots in the Screenshots section. For features, see the next section. Get rid of the boring Windows Explorer UI!!

Here's some screenshots off the site.

So what do you guys think? I think it looks promising.

I haven't been able to get vebview (or any webview) to work as the default folder view in XP. If you figure anything out, post it here:

I've just downloaded vebwiev. Seems that the site is up again.

@xfluffyx: I'm not using IE6 as my default browser, hence making all the issue about making it the default viewer a little troublesome. Perhaps someone else who uses IE6 can put this little app to the test?

@errantstory: Thanks, that's really kind of you. And welcome to A-S! :who's your daddy:

Vebwiev was found a while ago...

The program uses hyper templates which can be linked in a folder to be displayed as the layout in explorer similar to the 5 default views.

Finder templates are already being designed (Y)

Thanks

Sounds good... So does it mean that by downloading vebwiev (or some other similar programs), and applying the designed .htt files, we can achieve the intended finder functionality? :blink:

If that is the case, then it'd be really nice if someone familiar with this process can write a concise tutorial to help everyone out. :lol:

Can someone enlighten me on this? Thanks. :shy:

oooh...looking promising.

#103262

As far as I can tell, this has almost no functionality in XP, even with the registry patch

#103282

It dosnt have any functionality it works with explorer and IE and they provide the functionality, Vebwiev is simply a GUI enhancement.

@Anarchi5t, xfluffyx: Thanks for replying. Well, then I guess getting an actual finder look-alike with similar functions is not in that near a future after all? In any case, I shall be keeping in progress with your work in the other A-S threads.

www.virtualplastic.net has a whole section regardings webviews (vebview is one btw), worked perfectly in 2k but seems to have issues on xp system (atleast i couldnt get it to behave nicely.... )

#103407

thats a nice program!

Hey I have a new idea! :woot: I don't know whether this would work but someone could mod Vebwiev and then combine it with explorer.exe to create the perfect finder! (I know it sounds crazy! :canadian: )

#103500

I think we just lost the perfect finder after this:
