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.

Version: Xplorer2 1.7.0.5
"Has become my default file manager"
Pros: Very convenient file management features. Things like bookmarks, autofilters and colour-coding by file type make navigating and finding things very easy.
Cons: Some of the configuration options appear to require editing the registry. I haven't tried this, and won't. I haven't figured out how to view of the contents of zip archives using Xplorer2, if indeed it can be done.

Version: Xplorer2 1.7.0.5
Pros: Dual pane layout, high customization, "sticky" file selection, intelligent autofilters and previews for popular file types make the Pro version an indispensable file manager. If you're old enough to remember XTree Pro, you will love Xplorer2 Pro. The developer personally supports this software; quite a rarity these days.

Version: Xplorer2 1.7.0.5
"Exellent first class dual pane file manager!"
Pros: This file manager simply makes transferring large numbers of files simple. You can see all files in the two panes and decide very quickly where they need to go. Small additions like "file-sync", "File compare" and "duplicate file finder" replace other more specific programs. File finder adds a classy wild card enhanced search. Look at the features of multiple file managers and compare before you waste money on the others. While it may take years to learn the additional functionality it took only seconds to master the primary dual pane file manager. Product support is world class having resolved a very minor issue (that other companies might simply have told me to deal with), in an extremely short time.
