Stream Explorer 1.0.3 (617 kB - Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003/Vista)
is a utility that reveals file streams with Windows
NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003 or Vista.
Stream Explorer will show you the number of streams in each file as they are listed
per folder.
When you select a directory entry, Stream Explorer will list all the streams in
that entry, and you can see their type, their size and contents. The unnamed stream
is shown as <default>.
This new version 1.0.3 will show streams in folders as well, with thanks to Jürgen
Gärtner for pointing out that folders can also contain streams.
Stream Explorer is freeware.

WHAT ARE STREAMS?
The large majority of files on an NTFS disk will contain only one stream. The data
that you normally deal with in the file is kept in that stream. It is called the
unnamed stream.
But some files contain multiple streams.
The additional streams are named, like this: "c:\mydir\myfile.txt:mystream".
These streams can contain additional data, such as version information, author information,
hard links, etc.
