You have to take some time to get used to it, but try it for a week and you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
I still haven't discovered them all, and I've been using XYplorer for years. Those three features together would be enough, but it also integrates an image thumbnail browser that's better than the one in Windows or even dedicated graphics browsers (you can view thumbnails of images and all the detailed file info at the same time), a file preview for file types it recognizes, a hex viewer, directory list generator, opening the command line already set up in the folder that you're looking at, and a million other useful features that the developers threw in just for the heck of it. It also duplicates the context menu of Windows Explorer, including additional items added by programs plus many other convenient options that should have been in. The Search feature (Find Files tab at the bottom) is the old Windows style, minus the stupid dog but plus dozens of new options. I've tried several alternatives, but XYplorer is the only one that handles tabs right. Seriously, it's the only reason I haven't thrown my computer out the window in frustration.ĭon't let the lack of maintenance fool you XYplorer Free is in my opinion still the single best freeware Windows Explorer replacement. If you're like me and find the new versions of Windows Explorer and File Search in Vista and 7 to be horribly mangled and mutated descendants of the once pristine versions in earlier incarnations if Windows, then XYplorer is a breath of fresh air. It would be a simple matter to have XY overwrite the old registry keys when it is moved to a new location. In that application, the files can be moved without crashing the program. Start XYplorer in its new location and set Replace Explorer.Ĭool application, Andrew! I was using Explorer++ for several years and finally became impatient with its many never-addressed bugs. In the Command key, replace the old path with the new one.ģ. If it is necessary to change the location of XYplorer's files AFTER employing the Replace Explorer option:Ĭ. If possible, install XYplorer in a permanent location before setting the Replace Explorer option.Ģ. If XYplorer files are moved AFTER the Replace Explorer option has been used, even if the option is then disabled, Windows will still look for the files in the old location, and will return the message "Application Not Found" when you attempt to launch it.ġ.
Just started experimenting with XY and discovered a significant issue.
