Alternative to Windows File Explorer ???

I was wondering if there was a good alternative to the Windows File Explorer,
somethign with alittle more options, better display.

Never really heard of one before, got me to wondering /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

You can use other programs to explore your hard drive but a lot of function of windows file system is bolted into windows and not easily replaced in its entirety. Ztree and windows commander/total commander are two programs that come to mind.

Try Ontrack's Powerdesk Pro, excellent program to replace windows file explorer

In the days of MSDOS, XTree was good. But dunno what happened to it since Windows came about.

Ztree is an xtree clone so to speak.

Yeah, good stuff. I've used it for years. One of the nicest features is dual-pane browsing, which makes file copying/moving a lot easier. 2xExplorer is now Xplorer2Lite.

Thanks for the clarification, PW.

Another vote for xplorer2.

I remember win3.11 file manager. Didn't it have dual panes? I liked it a lot better than File exploiter.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yea, I used Win3.11 for a few years and I got to like their File Manager (they hadn't started calling it Explorer yet). It wasn't as flexible in terms of being able to offer thumbnail previews of picture files, but the dual-pane browsing was very useful.

I used win3.11 for 4 years at least. 95 for, well I don't want to say.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif But yes I think it had multiple pane views. Like Window --> New Window Or simalar... And it had un-delete functions something that's been missing for years. Now we have a recyle bin that doesn't really undelete anything. Remeber having to specify the first Letter of the file name when un-deleteing? Theres' been times when I emptied the recyle bin and needed to undelete later but had no means...

I used a program a long time ago in the dos days called arcmaster. It was a dual paned window and allowed easy copying/moving/archiving functions using hotkeys. I haven't found anything near as intuitive as it with decent hotkey combinations. I use the program still at times but since it doesn't support long file names or later versions of archiving internally it is obsolete.
