Haven’t you been putting up with Windows Explorer long enough? Do you want to move to a more powerful, flexible file management system?
Or perhaps you've recently moved to Windows 7, but can't stand the frilly new interface with all the bells & whistles?
Why don’t we make a deal – you get to use a file explorer that looks substantially similar to the Windows Explorer you've grown accustomed to, but in reality is a powerhouse of intuitive and effective file organization!
At first glance, xplorer² looks like familiar territory, with its tree view user interface that lets you see your files and folders. But then, you start using xplorer², and suddenly realize the power beneath your fingertips – browse multiple folders using tabs, invoke a dual pane view, assign frequently used folders to Favorites (even use bookmark panes), instantly jump to root directories, and maintain easily accessible folder groups. All of that stuff that was impossible to do with Windows Explorer becomes an everyday occurrence with xplorer²!
Tired of opening file after file, looking for the right one? With xplorer²'s quick preview panel, you won’t have to anymore! Looking for a specific file using search terms? xplorer² has a powerhouse of a search utility, Omni-Finder, enabling fuzzy logic and text searches using file comments, picture data, attributes, keywords, and practically all shell column handlers that are supported by your Windows OS.
These are only the highlights. xplorer² comes with a wealth of features, including advanced file management for large transfers, file comparison and synchronization, and direct execution of commands from the console!
Version Alert! Since we last promoted xplorer², it has moved into version 1.8. The new version adds a number of powerful features. Take a look:
xplorer² does so much, we can't even begin to cover it all here. Spend a few minutes browsing through the enormous collection of xplorer² video demos for a comprehensive introduction.
I have been using this for quite some time and love it!! Fast, light and does what I want! A great piece of software!!! -Raymond
is it lifetime updates,if i buy this at this price
When ordering from the zabkat site, it is possible to purchase an xplorer² portable edition (bundle) option, to have a portable version of the software (this is an extra 10$). Can I get this as well in the bits du jour deal?
OK, I got my answer, 50% off the price applies only to the software. Lifetime upgrades as well as portable version options can be added at full price.
the 50% deal is just for the main program. You can buy additional extras if you tick the relevant order page boxes but they will be charged at full price
Quick questions as a long time Total Commander (TC) user interested in newer capabilities of xplorer²: - what can Total Commander do that xplorer² does NOT do: I really need FTP transfer but not only - what can xplorer² do that Total Commander does NOT do; major difference I see is integrated file content preview: PDF, images, etc.something that should decide me to get it if xplorer² does not lack major TC functionality (I don't want to run 2 programs; enough are concurrently running already) Thanks, Jean-Louis
Jean-Louis, I would say that both TC and x2 can do the same things but xplorer2 should be more straightforward to use. Last time I compared the programs I found xplorer2 had the edge in performance, see: http://zabkat.com/blog/27May07.htm since you are a TC user and I'm not, have a look at these demo videos and see for yourself if x2 has got any extra tricks for you: http://zabkat.com/x2facts.htm
Can someone enlighten me. First time at this site and can't find any clear statement as to what happens. So far I've paid for Xplorer2, but as to the next step ? All I've had so far is an email saying that it could take up to 12 hrs to process my order. I've been given no indication of whether I'm supposed to download the program from this site or the developer's site? Or what the 24-hour deadline means. Is it 24 hours to pay for and download from this site, or just to pay? So many questions.... any help much appreciated.
After you pay you should receive an email from the credit card processor and then Zabkat (the developer) with your user registration key to tell the program that you own a license. Download xplorer2 from the web site. Unfortunately, the credit card processor here is Plimus, which has a history of unfortunate, loooong, and failed processing--and indifferent and fatuous customer support. On an order some time ago, it took almost two weeks before they told me that they couldn't authenticate me, even though they had immediately taken the money from my account.
This is not the 64 bit version. Is the 64 bit version available at this price.
You can download the 64-bit version from: http://www.zabkat.com/x2-64bit.htm. It installs and runs very well. A great buy!
What is your upgrade policy? Also, what does the licensing allow - all single user computers, or Desktop plus laptop, or other? Thanks!
you can read about the upgrade policy here: www.zabkat.com/x2up.htm the licensing is quite liberal, it counts users not computers, so 1 key is good enough for all the computers you have exclusive access to. See Help Licence agreement for more details
Does this offer include the lifetime updates? If not, how much will it be to include that and is it also discounted?
the discount is only for the main program. You can add any other extras like the lifetime upgrade but at normal cost
Just my $0.02... I have been using this for quite some time and would be lost without it!!! Now when I am at a computer that does not have xplorer2 on it and have to use MS File Explorer... I really realize just how much I appreciate xplorer2!!!! -Raymond
This is a very good file manager, except for the unattractive icons and colors. The interface is frankly an eyesore. If looks do not count, why use a GUI at all?! To the developer: Maybe you should atleast allow the user to change the background of the toolbar area to blue.
xplorer² stresses function over form but there are a number of toolbar skins available here: www.zabkat.com/x2skin.htm you can even make your own skin!
Discount page is not showing discount. It come up £19.61 which is roughly $29.95 and not £9.22 which would be nearer $14.95
I now see that when you click next it shows the discount.. Strange why the payment provider does not show the discount on the initial page.
I use a freeware *4* pane file browser (fully configurable 1-4), Q-Dir. I now cannot use anything less than 4 panes, 2 is not enough.
One very annoying aspect of xplorer2... I have xplorer2 but find one aspect very annoying. I would like for files to be displayed by default in alphabetical order... unfortunately, I haven't been able to get xplorer2 to do this, despite instructions from the developer. As a result, files appear in some order (mostly alphabetical) but files that I may have used most recently are not alphabetized. As a result, I'm always having to click on the File Name Col. heading to alphabetize so that read morethe file I'm looking for appears where I would expect. I'm considering switching to Directory Opus (although it is 3x more expensive).
Does this price also apply to the 64 bit version? When I downloaded via the "Try before you buy" button, the installer told me that there is a specific version for 64 bit Windows (which I'm running).
the same license key can be used for both 32 and 64 bit versions, you can have them both installed. For my liberal licensing scheme see further up

Hi Nikos! Last night I purchased explorer2. Unfortunately, I somehow missed checking the lifetime update before finalizing the order. Is there any way that I can add it? Also, what is the mobile version? Thanks! Nick
I use xplorer² for ages and I love the program. I've tried many other file manager before but none comes close to it. I really recommend it.
I am trying to purchase this before midnight and it won't let me. Please help.
Posting here will also email zabkat directly.
