Ext2Explore (formerly called Ext2Read) is a free and open-source utility designed to facilitate the exploration and reading of files stored in Linux-based ext file systems directly from a Windows environment. As Linux file systems are not natively supported by Windows, this tool bridges the gap, allowing users to access their files without needing to boot into Linux or use additional complex virtualization techniques.

Universal Viewer (formerly called ATViewer) is a general-purpose file viewer that supports a wide range of file formats, developed by UVViewSoft from Russia. With its help, you can easily view various common file types without having to download a lot of corresponding software. This not only saves a lot of disk space, but also makes viewing files simpler and more efficient.
