Earlier this week we asked you to share your favorite alternatives to Windows native file explorer.
Now were back to highlight your suggestions, tips, and tricks.
XYplorer just the best; and I have used pretty much everything listed here by everyone.
XYplorer is constantly being developed almost daily.
It also has a build in scripting language that allows you to do anything.
you’re able to write scripts to manage files, change the explorer itself, pretty much anything.
Its also completely portable.
you could also have portable file extensions (totally awesome).
Example: define the extension PDF to open PDFXchange viewer off or your usb stick running XYplorer.
The mini tree is really cool.
The user buttons can run apps, run scripts, open folders, almost anything and are portable aware.
Just so many features that make this the best explorer for anyone.
It can be as complicated and techy as you want; or just as simple as you want.
As for the price, just watch Bits Du Jur.
It comes up for sale every couple of months.
I have seen it twice since I bought it early this year.
you’re free to get a lifetime license for 50% off.
I really did not want to spend money and I really liked Qdir and Cubic but I needed more.
The scripting system allows me to automate my home config and my usb config and keep them in sync.
This has saved me tons of time.
Shawn had us at the whole portable file associations bitthat sounds like a fantastic feature!

Scott weighs in with his favorite features:

xplorer2 since I cant remember when.
I dont understand why Microsoft has not incorporated a dual pane model into Explorer.
For me, xplorer2 is essential.
