This invention relates to a hook-shaped hanger adapted to be attached by a pair of spaced prongs to a vertical panel wall and adapted to support an envelope of plastic film that hangs form that hook-shaped hanger to serve as a temporary file repository for a user. The hook-shaped hanger includes a ridge across the outside surface of the hook that retains the envelope on the hook when a file or the like is being removed from the envelope. The envelope may be a single file envelope supported by a single hanger or a multifile expandable envelope supported by two spaced hangers.
