XYplorer: A good alternative to Windows Explorer

XYplorer

Year: 2006

Version: 4.50.0018

Price: free

Rating: 4 out of 5

Windows Explorer is much like the Internet Explorer is - after you’ve seen Firefox you find it lacking many, many features. I was always looking (well keeping my eyes open) for a good alternative. Here I finally found one! XYplorer offers many features! Just try right-click on the tab bar to add tabs. Click and drag files from tab to tab. Add lines and line numbers. Press Ctrl+J to add a filter so that maybe only *.jpg files are displayed (remember to reset the filter to * when you’re done). Press Ctrl+M (or use the right-click menu) to use a selection filter and mark all *000*.jpg for example. Many many more features, I’m sure. AND: It’s free for private home use, but ONLY until March 21st 2006, so go get it!
