    I have used a derivative of the old MS-DOS X-Tree for
    windows called: ZTreeWin

    It's available at: http://www.ztree.com/

    It lets you "see" every file on your computer
    and lets you manipulate them easily. Yes, you can
    change one file's or all the files' attributes!

    It's for people who hate the mouse and like keyboard
    control, but it's easy to learn.

    Unless a file is "in use," you can do anything
    you want to it, unlike the higher level Windows
    "I know what you want, and won't let you do certain
    things" attitude.

It came to my attention after running a netstat and constantly seeing connections being made to the two outside hosts. I then installed a personal firewall and found out exactly what application was doing it (should have done this a long time ago).
