- "Improve your file browser"
- Version reviewed: Xplorer2 1.7.1.2
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 1.7.1.2
Pros: This File Commander descendant (not clone) has just so many usefull features, that I have not found out half of them. And it gets better and better. I just opted in for life time update and support - on top of already having paid the basic license.
The author is very enthusiastic, and the online message boards often answer your question.
Cons: May be there are just too many features?

Version: Xplorer2 1.7.1.2
"A very powerful and useful file manager"
Pros: Great flexibility in how one manages files. Lots of tricks available to speed my work.
Cons: It does have a relatively steep learning curve, as file managers go, but that's the price one pays for the power.

"Far better than Win Task Manager"
Pros: Much more versatile and flexible than the "other guys". Have barely scratched the surface of this SW and it's already saved me start-up time. I believe there's much more I can accomplish with this.
Cons: None yet.

"great and useful file manager"
Pros: I use this all the time for moving files and very helpful to compare duplicate files in different directories. Lets you compare files even while it is copying files from an earlier request.
