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 7.50
"Thanks for catching the viruses."
Pros: The anti-virus seems to work well. I can't tell. I only know I don't have viruses only pop-ups.
Cons: You are not blocking well enough. I still get programs I don't need. I.E. "Live Care One". That may not be your problem, however. I can't tell whether anti-virus is catching all of the viruses. I only have pop-ups.
Summary: I would appreciate your telling me your features and functions. Because I don't know, therefore, I don't know if you are fulfilling your purpose.

Version: XYplorer 7.50
Pros: The much anticipated folder view settings is very good. For example I like thumbnails in picture folder and detailed view in document folder and XY lets me keep all those plus scroll position column width and more. Fastest developing product IMHO.
Cons: NONE.
PS: the above commenter got it wrong, XY comes with installer and no-installer packages. If you need portability then go to no-installer package.Summary: One file manager you can trust and keep an eye on its speedy development.

Version: XYplorer 7.50
Pros: Robust features and extremely fast. I have used this portable software daily (9 to 10 hours a day) for approximately one year. I truly believe this is my most useful software on the windows platform.
Cons: Absolutely none. The more I use the software ==> the more useful advanced features I discover.
Summary: I have purchased/used several explorers over the last 14 years. This software stands in a league all it's own. I use the portable version on a Corsair Survivor GT. I often have 10-12 tabs open at a time (accessing Network drives). XYplorer is extrem... read more >>
