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.

Version: Xplorer2 Lite 1.7.2.7
"A good alternative to Windows Explorer"
Pros: If like me, you are fed up with having Windows Explorer freeze your system and crash on you then this seems to be a good alternative. Up until now it has worked perfectly and I am very pleased with it.
Cons: I don't like the fact that yo\u have two windows with files in them. It confuses me but I'm sure there is a good reason for them which I have not discovered yet.
Summary: Overall I would recommend this program instead of Windows Explorer.\

Version: Xplorer2 Lite 1.7.2.7
"What's the difference???????"
Pros: It's just about as good as the professional version, so, what's the difference? I'm a real teck junkie & I don't see the need for the pro version
Cons: none, except for the nag of not having the pro version with full functionality which in most cases you don't need

Version: Xplorer2 Lite 1.7.2.7
"Very flexible replacement for Win Explorer"
Pros: I have used this product for many versions.
It is superb for dragging and dropping files across drives and directories - or doing this with simple keystrokes. Great previews of pix and video.
Wonderful batch file rename facilityCons: None to speak of.
Summary: Another great function is its ability to backtrack along file paths by just clicking on any superior directory, and it will switch immediately to it.
Couldn't live without it.!! - See all 17 user reviews Write review
