Xplorer2 Professional (64-Bit) for Windows

User Reviews

• What a cool and useful Explorer replacement.

  bkrsrbMarch 23, 2013

  Pros

  Is well put together. I was amazed at how much it offered when compared to total Commander, and Directory Opus. No clutter and all the moves you need to find, replace and view information. The add on selections are useful as well. Not too crazy and just right to make the program even better.

  Cons

  Price is a bit high for the type of program it is but still is a great replacement for this program.

  Summary

  I would use this program without hesitation and recommend this to anyone looking for a windows program for Linux.

• Excellent File Management App and Organizational Tool

  David_Blaine_FullertonAugust 31, 2012

  Pros

  This software is a 5-STAR in my opinion because of the following: 1) Allows a multi-tab approach to managing directories 2) Has a Mini-Scrap location to store your most used directory links 3) Allows Forward & Back manipulation of your directories from a History list 4) Allows multiple windows open to have different setups and usage scenarios 5) I love the additional drive icons across the top that allow instant access 6) Multiple toolbar icons help you do many things with the GUI that I am still figuring out.

  Cons

  There are only a few things (say "suggestions") that I would suggest to the developer (which I have in emails) which are: * Multiple scraps windows on-screen at same time (maybe even a multi-tabbed mini-scrap window) ... even one single mini-scrap windows UNBELIEVABLY SAVES TIME that I can be forgiving * Maybe a multi-tab view of your Folder window or (even) allow a person to only show certain things in a Folder, because I have alot of useless Network locations, drives, etc., that I don't normally need. There might be settings for this. The multi-tab view of a Folder would solve this. And, alot of these features, I do believe are being worked on. Once you get something you like, you just want it to be perfectly set-up just for how you would use it. But, it has enough features so that both the NOVICE and the PROFESSIONAL will appreciate its capabilities without, possibly even, noticing hardly anything really needing improving.

  Summary

  This is a really impressive piece of software. I have really grown tired of Microsoft's inability to improve their Windows Explorer. There is just so much that is lacking, which Xplorer2 remedies and even improves upon. I have kept complaining about the shortcomings of Microsoft that I almost wanted to buy any and every File Management tool, but once I saw Xplorer2, I immediately said that that tool is what I want. It is well worth the small license fee. I am even buying two licenses (one for myself and one for my wife). I highly recommend it and wished that I would have found it years ago before I keep moaning and forever complaining about Windows Explorer, which is so out-dated and too-hard-to-use for most stuff with our complex directory structures now.

• my daily helper

  raynbeauJanuary 27, 2012

  Pros

  it does everything and more for me

  Cons

  none that I can see

  Summary

  After trying several dual pane explorers to use in place of Windows Explorer, I finally decided that Xplorer2 was the one for me. There are two versions - the free one which is very capable and the paid version which adds extra. Both are easily customisable to individal preferences but this type of explorer scores for me with it's side by side (or above and below) browsing capability. Additional to that tabbed browsing adds extra bonus points and once used is a must. The number of options, tools and viewing capalities are too numerous to mention here so idealy try the full version - it's has a free 21 day trial. Oh by the way Xplorer2 runs on all 32 and 64 bit windows platforms.

• One of the Best

  wt89twOctober 21, 2011

  Pros

  Easy to configure and has a Mini Scrip pane where I can place short-cuts to frequently used folders. The location path, the one below the tab bar, highlights when the mouse hovers of it - allowing for easy backward and forward navigation. Xplorer2 has received excellent reviews in several file manager comparison tests. It's actively developed with excellent visual help provided through demo videos on xplorer2 website. Easy explanations for beginners to shorten the learning curve.

  Cons

  None at all

  Summary

  I was looking for a replacement for windows explorer. I've read several comparison reviews, tried many free and paid file managers. Xplorer2 is at the top of the top tier of file managers. It is a very good replacement for windows explorer. There is also a 64-bit version. I especially like the visual appearance and layout, including the custom toolbar skins and the mini scrap pane. Be sure to read the pop-up tips and the "How do I?" in the right pane. It's very useful for first-time users. There is also a downloadable pdf manual, it answered many of my questions.

• Easy to use, and stable

  wadebridge59October 6, 2011

  Pros

  Long-time user (5 years) of the lite version. Tried a lot of file managers but none beat Xplorer2. Just upgraded to Win7 64-bit PC so upgraded to 64-bit Xplorer2. Now getting used to the extra features.

  Cons

  Nothing to shout about.

  Summary

  Try the rest but there's lots of reasons the lite version gets the nod on techsupportalert.com.

• This is the best version yet.

  rickbashamOctober 1, 2011

  Pros

  Have been using for quite some time. So many features, and they mostly work just as they are suppose to.

  Cons

  Do occasionally have a crash, but just reload and continue on.

  Summary

  I used the free version for a while, then switched to the upgrade. Like the upgrade best, but for most people basic will work fine.

• much better than windows explorer

  dchendricks01August 29, 2011

  Pros

  It just shows how outdated Windows explorer is. Excellent program.

  Cons

  There have been a few occasions in which I tried to click on a folder to open and it failed to open. It rarely happens. Restarting the program helps.

• Has truly replaced Windows Explorer for me

  cb4pJuly 6, 2011

  Pros

  Dual pane with tabbed layouts; Many options for customization; Can save tabbed layouts; Export folder information as text

  Cons

  Can't think of any

  Summary

  I use xplorer2 much more often than I use Windows Explorer. In addition to my list of Pros, I love the keyboard shortcuts, the calculation of subfolder size and the colorcoding of filenames. Because it is similar to the traditional Explorer, the learning curve was very small, but once you dig into all of the features, you will wonder how you went on without it. I would highly recommend it.

• Can't imagine being without it!

  Ronald JohnsonJuly 2, 2011

  Pros

  Fast, versatile, stable

  Cons

  A bit pricey...

  Summary

  Xplorer2 has taken over Windows Explorer. Before Xplorer2, I was using PowerDesk8 which has become bloated and slow. Xplorer2 is like the Olympic athlete watching my files and has become my #1 most-used/accessed program. It takes me precisely where I need it to go and FAST! The 64-bit version I used in the trial is rock-solid stable. I really like the ability to view and edit my files, the way that I want to view and edit my files. I've put in on my desktop and notebook and can't imagine being without it. If you have any need for speed, stability, and versatility in file management, I urge you to download the trial and you will become hooked!"
