Editor's review of XYplorer

XYplorer is a shareware alternative to Windows Explorer that offers more tools and file information than the native file manager. You can have XYplorer automatically show thumbs in the document list, or you can use the info panel to get a full-size preview. The info panel offers a wealth of information about files with a powerful search tool that supports Boolean logic, regular expressions, whole word matching, fuzzy terms, and more to find any file quickly.

Although the search feature is arguably the best thing about XYplorer, there are other great features included. The program offers a traditional layout for users who want to keep a Windows Explorer feel, and a tabbed layout for those ready to move on. Users can also run XYplorer in conjunction with scripts and create shortcuts to other apps. At just a shade over 1MB, it's tiny, and since it doesn't edit your computer's Registry, XYplorer is completely portable and utterly worth trying.

  Pros: 1. Instead of dual pane you have a tabbed interface.

  2. Far superior search capabilities to your normal windows explorer.

  3. Great info panel which makes it oh so simple to view all properties of a file and also preview various media format (mp3, jpeg, avi etc.)

  4. Scripting & User defined commands.

  5. It is portable so no installation necessary. Perfect for a usb stick.

  These are just a few things that are great about xyplorer, I could go on and on about so many other things but really one just needs to try it out and have some fun with it to really appreciate the extent of it's functionality.
