Web Archives Viewer

Web Archives Viewer is a handy little tool that lets you peek inside an archive before you hit that download button. It's like having a sneak preview of what's in those RAR or ZIP files right from your browser! This application works as an Internet Explorer plugin, making it super easy to check out the contents without committing to a full download.

Why Use Web Archives Viewer?

This tool can save you a lot of time and hassle. Imagine downloading an archive only to find out it has files you already have. With Web Archives Viewer, you can skip the downloading and decompressing steps and just see what's inside right away!

Supported Formats

The cool part is that it supports both HTTP and FTP protocols, so you can use it with most links you come across online. However, keep in mind that this software only works with RAR or ZIP files. But hey, those are the most common formats, so it should cover most of what you'd need!

User-Friendly Navigation

Once installed, Web Archives Viewer pops up in your context menu when you're using Internet Explorer. You can right-click on any link and choose to open it with this tool. If you try to open a file type that's not supported, you'll get a friendly message letting you know.

Easy File Management

The app shows the structure of the archive in a tree-view format, making navigation really simple. You'll see the size of each file along with its creation date too! Plus, if you want to open any file within the archive, you can do that using its associated program—all without downloading anything first!

Limitations

A little downside is that Web Archives Viewer only works with Internet Explorer. So if you're using another browser, you'll need to switch things up for now. Still, it's great for anyone who needs quick access to their archived files!

Part of Download Collections

You can also find Web Archives Viewer included in collections like Internet Explorer Tweaks. So if you're looking for tools related to Internet Explorer, this one definitely deserves a spot on your list!
