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 1.7.0.5
Pros: I was searching cnet downloads for a good FREE File Manager. I must have downloaded at least 10 free managers. This one in my view is the best one to date. A lot of the bells and whistles are in the Pro version for ($30.00) which for ME are not necessary. If you're looking for a simple easy to use manager than this is the one. If you want a File Manager with ALL The Bells And Whistles and you want to shell out some bucks then I suggest Power Desk Pro. I have the paid version of it, and it's GREAT. Xplorer2 Lite does just as well, Plus It's Free.

Version: Xplorer2 Lite 1.7.0.5
Pros: Xplorer2 Lite is good for viewing your folders,files.In the start-up notification says "all Menu functions are disabled permanently " and that you will get them in the Plus or Pro Vn.You cannot do anything with the Menu-bar.It is better to choose 'Xnview" which is the best free-ware in this class offering all functions.;available in download.com itself.

Version: Xplorer2 Lite 1.7.0.5
Pros: Right now I'm having a problem with opening folders with "right click" and double click. All folders open with "search results". The only way to open my folders is with Xplorer2 lite. Love it. Without it, I know that I would probably had to install the XP OS all over again. HP/Compaq couldn't help. So right now Xplorer2 Lite is my life saver.

"A Definite Improvement Over Standard Explorer"
Pros: I use Win XP and there is very little to compare between the standard Explorer and Xplorer2 Lite. This program is far more versatile,and much more useful. I guess I'm one of those that C/Net reviewers would refer to as being on 'a gentle learning curve' as I still have a lot to learn about this program's features.
I love the interface. The tabbed browsing feature is especially useful, and I love the way that helpful tool tips and Tips of the Day are displayed. Standard Explorer options aren't altered; ie: delete, rename, etc. but this program is far more versatile. It even has a feature for shredding data!
Cons: Two things: Xplorer2 Lite won't allow you to use the Check Duplicates or Compare Subfolders features. Some free programs just leave you wanting more!
