I've shopped around in the past on file explorers :) > Paid: Directory Opus is by all accounts the most powerful > Win Explorer > replacement out there, plus the GUI rocks. > http://www.gpsoft.com.au/Intro.html Yeah, this is the other "big-boy" on the explorer market. I'll have to look at it again. > Free: xplorer2 (also has paid version, which is actually the > one I use) > has a 3-pane interface, (including a tree pane at left) & is > extremely > customisable & powerful: http://zabkat.com/ Used that several places, but have had significant crashing issues when run under alternate or restricted user accounts (program crashes using the "run as" function and right-click context menus). Now admittedly these were beta-releases...and maybe the later releases fixed the problems. On a side-note on multi-paned windows one of the things (that I'm trying to find other usage mannerisms to improve it) is that the time(s) that a second pane are useful if you're doing multiple file copies/moves/arranging between two folders in very different areas. Scrolling up and down in the left folder listing of explorer gets old when you have several operations to do. The thing I haven't gotten working to my liking yet is the switching of focus between each pane, and changing directory in said pane. Usually it's a left-pane scroll to folder, select pane. Highlight folder to change display in that pane. Select other pane. Scroll in folder display to other folder Select folder to display in 2nd pane. Are there "pane groups" that will let you setup remembered locations? Haven't looked around too much...and another question is for those groups how are they remembered/displayed? Usually it's a "you type a name and you have to remember what that name means" like a browser favorite item. Anyone done some kind of tooltip-hover that does a quick thumbnail of it or something else intuitive?
