The EZ Browse option is used to browse through any files you have. It is made with various options rather than just browsing for your convenience. For example it will allow you to upload, delete and create files. You can even create directories from the EZ-Browse tool which enables you to organize and create pages on the fly. If you are creating links for pages that don’t exit you can create a directory and page for that link from the EZ-Browse and then link directly to that page without returning to the EZ-File Manager, it can all be done in the EZ-Browse. One important fact to remember about EZ-Browse is that you will need to be performing some operation that calls for the EZ-Browse, such as opening, or saving a file.
