Reviewed by: CNET Staff
XYplorer is a shareware alternative to Windows Explorer that offers more tools and file information than the native file manager. You can have XYplorer automatically show thumbs in the document list, or you can use the info panel to get a full-size preview. The info panel offers a wealth of information about files with a powerful search tool that supports Boolean logic, regular expressions, whole word matching, fuzzy terms, and more to find any file quickly.
Although the search feature is arguably the best thing about XYplorer, there are other great features included. The program offers a traditional layout for users who want to keep a Windows Explorer feel, and a tabbed layout for those ready to move on. Users can also run XYplorer in conjunction with scripts and create shortcuts to other apps. At just a shade over 1MB, it's tiny, and since it doesn't edit your computer's Registry, XYplorer is completely portable and utterly worth trying.

Version: XYplorer 7.20
"Absolutely THE BEST file manager available"
Pros: I've tried them all and this one has options and capabilities the others haven't even thought of yet. First, XYplorer is completely portable. Nothing whatsoever is written to the registry. It can be used in either tabbed or traditional modes and offers user defined commands, scripting, shortcuts to other apps and utilities and many more custom features that will blow your mind. Since installing XYplorer, I have been able to get rid of several utilities, such as file renamer, keyboard shortcut tools and several specialized batch files that are now easier to run via XYplorer scripts. The ONLY thing I use Windows Explorer for nowadays is to copy new versions of XYplorer as I download them. Give it a try - you have nothing to lose. Thanks for a FANTASTC procuct, Don !

Version: XYplorer 7.20
Pros: While many softwares are adding loads of features and slowing down their apps, XYplorer is adding features and making things slicker and faster. I have been testing the betas regularly and every release is taking the strain away from user. If you are looking for a bloat-free file manager with fast browsing speeds, user-friendly features then stop at XYplorer.

Version: XYplorer 7.20
"Excellent software, stable and powerful"
Pros: The program flows. The vast majority of power users will find that the majority of the program is easily understood and features are easily found.
Cons: It is much more powerful than than it first appears. The casual user will not take the time to understand and use the software.
