Stream Explorer is a handy application for Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Vista that displays the amount of streams, or more precisely NTFS Alternate Data Streams, of every subfolder and file of a selected folder. It therefor provides access to a very straightforward and visual way of identifying multiple data streams in files and folders.
The program divides the information into four panes and a header area that provides access to a quick partition browser and program help. The other panes are displaying the directory structure, the files and folders in the currently active directory including the amount of streams of each file and folder, detailed information about each stream and a hex viewer that is displaying the contents of each stream.
The default stream is the one that gets executed when the user (double-)clicks on the file. The main advantage of Stream Explorer is that it displays all information in one window.
