CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This slimmed-down file manager trumps Windows Explorer on many counts, but it may have too much flexibility for some users.
Xplorer2 Lite's interface is easily adapted to your preferences. Toolbars and information windows can be moved on a whim. You can browse two or more folders in one window, using program tabs and different panes. What's more, you can customize search windows and save the settings for later use. Visual filters improve crowded directory readability. You can easily rename multiple files at once, split or merge files, synchronize folders, and shred data to prevent recovery. However, we are disappointed that the Check Duplicates and Compare Subfolders functions are disabled.
An enhanced DOS command line allows you to create scripts to process file batches, a nice touch for more advanced users. The online help is detailed, tool tips are mini manuals, and the Tip of the Day feature gives even more helpful information. All in all, this program makes the learning curve gentle. Almost everyone will find this file manager a great improvement over their current tool. Xplorer2 Lite will even make novices feel like power users.
Publisher's description
(From Zavarakatranemia ):Xplorer2 Lite is a free version of xplorer2, a tabbed dual-pane windows explorer replacement with integrated quick previewer. Compared to the professional version it lacks customizability and the search command.
Version 1.7.2.7 brings Windows 7 compatibility.

Version: Xplorer2 Lite 1.7.2.7
"Number of Reviews is WAY off"
Pros: The dual-pane feature, as well as folder memory (opens same folders as last time) really make Windows' Explorer obsolete.
Cons: Thumbnail support is pretty poor.
Summary: When viewing this web page, CNET says there are 124 reviews, but the one I'm typing is just the second one. I'm not sure how that happens. And it's happened a lot lately -- when I go to read reviews, there aren't any; but the top of the page will sa... read more >>

Version: Xplorer2 Lite 1.7.2.7
"Xplorer2 Lite Works Flawlessly with Windows XP Home SP3"
Pros: The Dual panes are intuitive, and easy to use. The Drive, Parent Directory, Dual or Single, and View Buttons can be placed NEAR the Split between the two panes. This is one of the first Completely compatible File Managers. I Love IT !!
Cons: There are NO problems or annoyances.
Summary: This is an Outstanding File Manager for Free. It's not a Hassle to use. I replaced a commercial File Manager with Xplorer2 Lite.
