I have used the licensed (pro) version of xplorer2 for several years now. Sometimes I have tried other file managers, but none of them beat the ease-of-use, the simple (no bells and whistles) interface and the exactly right feature set. The author gives good and quick support when you run into a problem, even if it is not caused by xplorer2 (but by a misconfiguration of tortoisesvn in my case). Definitely worth buying a license!

Very good explorer, easy to use and to adapt. Tried many others, but this one I like most. If you do not need the advanced options you can get the slightly limited free-version on the website of Xplorer2

I have been using xplorer2 for over a year. I have also recommended this product to several of my friends. Every person I know using this product - thinks it is the best software available on the pc. If my pc is on - this product is loaded. I have 'tested' several other Explorer based packages and nothing compares to the functionality/stability of this tool. You will not be disappointed.

Totally agree with RickyF about xplorer2. I've been using it since it first came out and long ago realized there was no need to keep looking at Explorer replacements (although I do, just out of curiosity). Everything about it, even the support forum and documentation, is excellent. Note that there is a so-called "Lite" version that is freeware, but without looking at the comparison chart, it would be hard to know what's not there compared to the full version. It, along with KeyNote, is a program that I depend on so much that I just leave it open all the time.

I've tried most of the Explorer replacements and this is far and away my favorite. I rely on it for efficient file management and computing. I've been using it for years and I still find new, useful features. Try it out.
