  Pros

  Wonderful Video's to help you learn Easy to use Trial period was long enough to want to make the investment in buying the product. I didn't feel rushed to make my decision on my purchase.

  A little more then the rest - but you get what you pay for. I did go online and found a discounted price.

• The best Windows Explorer replacement around

  jgf_tompkins10/30/2010

  Pros

  You can configure Directory Opus in many different ways, so you're sure to find one that works well for you.

  Cons

  Initially setting up the program and discovering all its features can take a while. I've been using it for years, and am still finding new (and useful) features.

  Summary

  If you're looking for a Windows Explorer replacement, then look no further!

• Costly but (almost) worth it.

  mss6278/11/2010

  Pros

  One of the few file managers that combines the ease of use of Windows Explorer along with oodles of useful features like directory synchronization, file transfer protocol, multiple directories and more. This is the Cadillac of file managers.

  Cons

  The price is ridiculous. Especially if you consider that most of the features can be found in freeware albeit in separate programs.

  Summary

  Many 3rd party file management programs provide some of the features available with directory opus but there always seems to be something that makes you return to explorer. Directory Opus is like explorer on steroids. The features all work flawlessly across all platforms. I use it with XP, Vista and Windows 7 machines. I just think 78 dollars is a lot-a-tomatoes to fork over for what amounts to a fancy File manager. Cut the price in half and I'd give it 5 out of 5.

• Runs circles around explorer

  martinex1/16/2010

  Pros

  Built in FTP manager. Directory syncronization. Light on system resources.

  Cons

  Expensive.

  Summary

  I've tried quite a few explorer clones. This is hands down the best. I'm really surprised Microsoft hasn't stolen it yet.

• Forget Windows poor execution

  Darksider1091/8/2010

  Cons

  Need to learn the best possible way to use ( help files and good forums)

  Summary

  Best and will outdo Microsoft in all ways

• The most powerful software you will ever own

  kenalcock5/19/2009

  Pros

  Powerful, fast, customizable, portable (run from USB), asthectically pleasing. Supports plug-ins, themes, and custom configurations. User support forum. Constant free support updates between major versions. Integrated viewers and hotkey manager.

  Cons

  Because it is so feature rich, new users sometimes get overwhelmed. Download it, get a free trial license, check out the user support forum (link in help menu).

  Summary

  This is the first program I install on my windows computers after installing the operating system. And I never have to use Windows Explorer again. This program has a lot under the hood. The money you spend on a license is trivial compared to the time it will save you in the long run. The best place to learn about this program is at the user support forum (link in the help menu), where some of the users have written extensive tutorials. Opus is powerful; it usually not a question of it can or cannot do something, but how top do it with Opus.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on May 19, 2009<p/>Import/Export the following to backup or share: - Preferences configuration. - Toolbars or individual command buttons - Visual themes Internal Utilities: - FTP client - Synchronization Tool - Duplicate File Finder - Internal search system - mp3 tag editor - Viewer (supports plug-ins) - HotKey manager (within Opus or system-wide) - Simple email client for sending files. - Image Converter - File Type Manager - Renaming system (scriptable): date, mp3/EXIF tags, RegExp, etc. - Secure File Erase Key Features: - Browse FTP, .zip, .rar as folders. - File Collections (use files from many locations as if in same folder) - File Filter system - Advanced file searching. - Dual File display - Flat view. - Customizable Folder formats by: drive type, content type, folder. - Favorite Folders - Folder/Path alias system - Store window layouts and styles - Folder Tabs and Tab Groups Integrates with: - Windows Messenger - Google Desktop search - ImageShack - Flickr
