Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Eat your heart out, Windows Explorer. This powerhouse file manager beats the pants off Microsoft's built-in utility on almost every count. Start with the interface: Xplorer2 lets you browse two or more folders in one window using panes (as in Total Commander or FAR) and tabs.
You can save several window layouts and quickly switch among them when necessary. Visual filters let you more easily navigate overcrowded directories. Selecting several files is a breeze, since you don't have to hold down the Ctrl key. Xplorer2's tweaks aren't limited to the interface, either. You can rename multiple files at once, split and merge files, synchronize folders, and shred data to prevent recovery.
The program supports NTFS hard links (which are more powerful than shortcuts, allowing you, for instance, to move the source file without breaking a link). An enhanced DOS command line lets you create scripts for processing file batches. All in all, there's a good chance you won't go back to Windows Explorer once you get a look at Xplorer2.
Publisher's description
From Zavarakatranemia :Xplorer2 is a tabbed dual-pane file and information manager that adheres to the philosophy efficiency through simplicity. It integrates features of Windows shell architecture in a package that's familiar to work with. But look a little closer and you'll discover a whole new world under the surface that offers power, precision, and flexibility and will boost your everyday productivity. It includes Omni-Finder, a find files module that searches everywhere with arbitrary criteria, e.g. within file comments, and MP3 tags. Version 1.1.0.3 includes GUI translations and bug fix.

Version: Xplorer2 1.1.0.3
"Superb. Far better than Explore"
Pros: Double pane makes organization and drag/drop easy. Lite version is far more than adequate for my needs.
Cons: None that come to mind.

"Simplest, fastest, most powerful drive and file manager I've found"
Pros: Easy to use its basic features -- vastly superior to Windows Explorer.
Extensive feature set (which takes a bit of learning). Highly customizable.
Very fast.
Excellent and fast search capabilities, across and within files.

Version: Xplorer2 1.1.0.3
"Fast, tons of options, additional registry tweaks, great search utility, FTP!"
Pros: FTP! Small file size, USB drive portable (visit URL netez.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=2520), great search utility, plenty of custumization, thorough documentation, FAST! Good Help Forum! A lot more. You will register before the 21 days are up!
Cons: Nothing yet. Perhaps future versions will include Firefox html preview instead of IE engine. But that is not a big deal.
