What are people saying about Easy Explorer

Chris Why?

Transfer of a license to another owned computer is not allowed.

Online license activation is required with a hardware footprint, and 1 installation per footprint.

CFGuy Normally I would agree with everyone who posted about the "non-transferrable" license, as this is very "user unfriendly" and would absolutely, under different circumstances, be a "deal breaker" for me, as well. However, I must say that at this low of a price-point, I will be able to overlook what otherwise would be a "deal breaker" for me over non-friendly and inflexible licensing. I would encourage the developer to change his/her policy on the licensing, but at the same time for a low price of just $3.95 per license, I (personally) would be willing to overlook the licensing inflexibility and just look at it more as a "disposable license" situation - where I would definitely be out the $3.95 should I upgrade or change my computer over the next year, but at this low price it would be worth the "gamble" to me. Nevertheless, everyone must make such a decision for himself or herself, and realize their licensing complaints are very legitimate, and be aware of what they are getting into going into this deal. Just my own personal thoughts. And again, I strongly encourage the developer to change their licensing policy, no matter what the price-point of the software. -Cfguy

Paul CFGuy, I guess some people can rationalize anything and make excuses for others, "that's why the price is so low" but lets be honest here, this is a program that remembers windows explorers window positions..... it's probably only worth the current price without the current restrictions..... I'll just move the windows myself or.... use one of the other programs that have this feature. I think you are confused about something, you mention a year, and say "gamble", you can use this program forever (unless your hard drive goes out or you upgrade your computer), you just get upgrades to a newer version should one come out in a year so you can use it until you get a new computer.

In today's world, most of use get new computers often because the technology becomes obsolete rather quickly. Most of use get new hard drives often because we're constantly needing more space, or they go out.

SO for some this is a good deal that can last years, others get punished for wanting a better system and upgrading, or wanting more space, or if their hard drive goes out, they get extorted for more money, it's not fair.

This company also contradicts itself just to further stick it to you, it's licensed, per user, but it's also per machine, this is the only time I've seen a company choose both ways to stick it to the customer, most companies pick EITHER per machine, or per user.

Happy "gambling"

Yeoh Ray Mond Some clarifications on licensing:

- Easy Explorer is licensed per machine, which means a single physical or virtual Windows installation

- if you have a 100 user accounts on a single Windows installation, all 100 user accounts can use the product using a single license

- if you have a 100 virtual machines running on a single physical machine, all 100 virtual machines will need a separate license for the product. In these cases, we will work with BitsDuJour to offer a bulk licensing option

- as long as your Windows installation stays the same 'physically' (may not be physically the same for virtual machines) , the '1 installation per footprint' means that you can activate the license unlimited times should you need to reinstall Windows on that machine

- if you need to move your license to a new machine, we will entertain such requests as long as they are within reasonable limits.

Stephen Warkentien That is not what "The Fine Print" tab says.

For example:

Easy Explorer is licensed per user, so if more people are going to use Easy Explorer you will need to purchase additional copies.
Aug 12 2017 at 11:20pm Copy Link

Yeoh Ray Mond Agreed, the example you pointed out could have been worded better to avoid any ambiguities.

At face value, the statement is true. We can reasonably assume that no 2 users will own the same computer, and that they will own different computers, and thus will require separate licenses for the product.

However, when a user owns 10 computers and wants to use the product on those 10 computers, he will require at least 10 licenses. I say 'at least' because if like in your case, each computer runs multiple virtual machines, each of those virtual machine will then require their own license.

If the term 'user' is used to include user accounts, then that statement you pointed out isn't true. Easy Explorer is licensed per machine (physical or virtual), and can be used by any number of user accounts on an installation of a Windows environment.

Hope this makes it clear.

Paul Umm I don't think your missing much Benjamin, right after I installed it, it said an update was available so I clicked update and it uninstalled itself and nothing else happened I had to reinstall the "older" version that I just downloaded moments before. After using this program a couple minutes, simple feature like creating a new folder stopped working. Keep in mind this company has no motivation to bring you a great working program because they charge you for updates and bug fixes every year.

Yeoh Ray Mond When you create a new folder or file, it gets placed at the bottom. Easy Explorer doesn't automatically select and bring the new item into view. This has been changed in version 2.0.0.70, released today. You can update to this version using the 'Check for updates' function.

Note that the automatic update option downloads an executable file and runs it. Some anti-virus programs may not like this, and thus prevent the executable from running. If the automatic update option doesn't work, you can download the installer using the following URL:

Dunking @Yeoh Ray Mond: You say "we will make the necessary changes, within reasonable limits." What are those limits?

On a personal level, I would find it very hard indeed to use software which has a license as restrictive as yours, regardless of how cheap it is. It is not the cost per se that's the the problem, but one of control. Suppose I bought it for $1 and used it for a bit, found I really liked it. The problem there is that you might decline to let me continue using it (I upgrade my PC, have a laptop as well, you go out of business, whatever) and I am then stuck, unable to use something really useful to me. Much better not to put myself into that position in the first place.

A bit of thought will indicate that this applies to subscription licenses too: I can be prevented from using something through no fault of my own. For that not to be a pain for me, I would have to not enjoy, or find useful, the application in the first place, so logic suggests it is better not to try it and find out I like it!

Note that I am not against paid upgrades so long as one is still able to use the non-upgraded version. Perhaps that would be a way to get a continuing income stream without onerous licensing that may be preventing original sales.

Dunking Perhaps it's best if I point at something that floated my boat a couple of weeks ago. I was after a log file viewer and came across - surprise - Log View Plus. The license covers updates for a year on any machine I own, and at $25 I had no hesitation in purchasing after a cursory check that it did more or less what I needed. A no-brainer.

I think the trick is to price stuff at the pocket money position, where one doesn't have to get it signed off or justify it too much. For me, anything below about £20 is that kind of level (though that might change as my circumstances do). This Explorer thing at $4 is a very nice price, but I think it is too cheap. It's not enough to really register on your mind so might as well be free. If I were in the market for this and a quick trial run showed it was probably what I wanted, $10 wouldn't be a bad price for, say, a two machine license. Perhaps $15 for any of my personal machines. I should also say that non-activation would swing an otherwise not-quite-there deal for me - sure, you need to trust me but then I also need to trust you and this is a two-way street. A 50% discount on (optional) updates each year would be cool.

The VM issue is a new one on me. I wouldn't normally have made a distinction between a VM and real machine, but then I tend to use VMs to test stuff and I suspect your view is that they are 'proper' machines running a proper setup on a long-term basis. That difference may well determine ones view of how licensing on a VM should work, but it's worth bearing in mind that a copied VM could use the same authenticated install as its 99 brethren. Trying to prevent that kind of abuse is the way to an early heart attack.

I think the approach taken with LVP, mentioned above, may well get more customers than the more onerous licensing loses. Certainly, there will be some level of abuse regardless, but I'm sure the developer of LVP probably sleeps better since he's not worrying about how to tackle that last 5% or whatever that get away with it. I can tell you that his customers, at least this one, appreciate that they're not being tarred with the same brush that some connivers undoubtedly warrant.

Yeoh Ray Mond @Dunking - Thanks for sharing your views.

This product is aimed at the home user market, which is why it's priced at USD 10. At that price point, we don't feel the licensing terms are overly restrictive. For a company, USD 10 a pop is a no-brainer if they find utility from the product. At the BDJ price, we certainly didn't expect that most of the comments were going to be about the licensing terms.

Based off our experience with our database products, 'serial' and 'crack' are very common keywords used together with our product names on search engines, which is why our licensing terms are what they are. Unfortunately, it only takes a single person to abuse a less restrictive licensing scheme to cause us economic loss, which was an experience we do not want to repeat. Are we tarring everyone with the same brush? Yes, but the outcome to our customers would be much worse if we were to go out of business, and we hope our customers/prospects understand that.

That's not to say we will not change our licensing terms for Easy Explorer, but we will certainly take your views into account. Thanks once again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Dunking @Yeoh: Thanks for your considered response. I should just make a small point concerning your view...

I used to buy and play games, which could be quite expensive. This was at the time when one needed to keep the CD in the CD drive to enable the game, which was rather onerous. Rather than do that I would set about acquiring a hacked version to disable the requirement. It got to the stage where, if I were interested in a game, one of the first things I'd check is the DRM and whether it's crackable, and then buy the game if it was.

Now I am somewhat older and have learned that the protection on some games is too hard to mess with unless one wants the risk of some added feature courtesy of the hacker. (Plus, if the author shows no compunction about adding that stuff if it is probably a resource hog anyway.) The result is that I have not bought any game which has DRM for quite a few years now. I still buy games (last week I had a splurge in a fit of boredom and bought four), but they are all from the likes of GOG or Humble and DRM-free. I don't bother reading the description of ones that aren't.

If there is a crack for your product you're on a slope of diminishing returns trying to prevent it being used. Indeed, the more you try the more you are likely to push users towards it - it is often said that legitimate users who have paid for a license have a worse time of things than those that didn't, so there is more incentive not to pay. The big weapon you have is in making it easier for customers that want to be legitimate to be so. Those that would find a crack for something sold at $10, all other things being equal, aren't your customers or even potential customers. They only have to break your protection once and they're sorted, so it's a battle you can't win there. The play for paying customers can be lost, though.

Sorry, meant for this to be a short comment.

CFGuy For Yohz Software Rep - This looks like great software at one of the best prices I have seen in all my years as a BDJ customer. Question- I frequently have problems getting the icon "view-type" on my desktop folders saves (most I want as "medium thumbnail", but some I want different). Would "Easy Explorer" allow windows to "memorize" my desktop folder view settings, and keep them the way I want them (even through multiple computer reboots)? If not, this still looks like an excellent program at a price that can't be beat, so you may count on me purchasing a license for each computer I own; however if you do know of a program or hack/technique that would allow desktop folder icon view to be memorized for individual desktop folders, if you would pass this information along to me, I would be most appreciative. I have tried using folders in Windows "library" technique without much success, BTW. Thanks so much. -Cfguy

Gary Smith @Yeoh Ray Mond:

I notice the only change in the Fine Print from previous offers, is that now, the software can be transferred to another computer.

Transfer of a license to another owned computer is not allowed. (Prev)

Transfer of a license to another owned computer is allowed. (Now)


The problem is that it is still one installation per hardware footprint. If I need to re-install the OS sometime down the road, my one installation per hardware footprint has already been used. To use the product again, rather than a simple re-install of the OS, I have to purchase a different computer so I can transfer the license, or I will need to alter my current computer in such a way that the hardware footprint would not be recognized. That part can be difficult if I keep some key components the same (e.g., CPU for example). Without knowing what you would use to determine if the hardware footprint is the same, there is still too much risk.

The issue has never been the price. The market will bear that part out whether it is reasonable or not. It has always been the licensing.

In a previous offer, you were surprised that so much of the discussion pertained to the licensing, and you even asked what would work. Users explained the issue with the one hardware footprint issue. There was an opportunity to address that issue, but here we are again.

Robert User I purchased Easy Explorer, installed, started the program, and even though I have a license key ready to enter, it starts with getting a Trial License first. My Firewall was in learn mode, and I could not approve of the contact attempts to call home fast enough (contact the Activation Server). After it reported that it had failed, and requested me to contact support, and include the "following URL" but no URL is displayed. I clicked the Finish, then I used the Help | Activate License option, which requested the license key, and then it succeeded.

To make sure I had a clean install, I exited, rebooted, and was surprised to see a BSOD REGISTRY_ERROR. Reboots get the same BSOD repeatedly unless I boot into Safe Mode. When there is a REGISTRY_ERROR BSOD, some parts of Recovery cannot be used, even in Safe Mode, so I might have no alternative but to use go back further than I wished.

Regardless of what is causing the BSOD, I will have to do a recovery operation, which will eliminate my one time activation. I am starting to understand the issue regarding limited activations. Within minutes of the install, the purchase has been wasted. If that was not a problem, I could reinstall Easy Explorer, re-activate with the same hardware, and everything would be fine.

Yeoh Ray Mond @Robert User - if you repeatedly activate a license on the same computer, it still counts as 1 activation. If you had to change certain bits of hardware resulting in a different hardware footprint, then our activation server would consider it a different computer. Thus in your case, if all you're doing is rolling back to an earlier checkpoint, you would not be using up your second activation.

Drop us a line at support@yohz.com if you require further assistance.

Thanks; that was not something I had picked up on.

I need to plug back in some RAM, would that be enough to affect the hardware footprint?

Also, what about adding a Graphics card, will that affect it?

Gary Smith @Yeoh Ray Mond:

You replied that while users explained the issue with the hardware footprint issue, nobody offered any feasible solution that would alleviate that issue for users and still protect our product from rampant piracy.

OK, users will take the blame for not solving your business problem. The problem was always on our side; it was never your fault, unless you consider history.

Please consider the fact that users have been purchasing from lots of developers through BitsDuJour that do not have the same restriction, yet these developers stay in business and are happy to continue offering their products, and customers are happy to take advantage of the discount they offer here. At some point you have to consider doing what works for the other developers; not blame users for not coming up with a solution for your business.

I've helped a lot of software developers over the years. So far, none have considered your idea of licensing a viable solution against piracy.

If you go back far enough to know about WordStar, it was a time long before any methods of piracy protection were in force. The program was the dominant text editor for many years. The company (Microstar) depended a lot on word of mouth advertising. It was not uncommon for users to copy the program, share it with a friend, and later on, many of these free-loaders purchased the program. Without those free-loaders, Microstar would not have been anywhere as successful as they were. At one point it was revealed that the number of illegal copies outnumbered legitimate copies ten to one. The success caused other software developers to encourage users to share, and if they liked the program, to please consider paying for it. Those developers also saw an increase in their income.

Moral of the story: don't worry about preventing a single pirated copy at the expense of losing sales. Develop a great product, and develop a method of activation like all the other successful developers that sell here have done. The key thing is to develop a strategy that works for you AND the customer. Everyone will benefit as a result.

Yeoh Ray Mond Thanks for the detailed feedback. Again, if you could point us to some examples of recent products with 'better' licensing schemes, it would be much appreciated. Taking a quick look at today's other offers on BDJ, one is also licensed per computer and sells for over $200, another doesn't require activation but stops working after 12 months unless its subscription is renewed, two others require paid upgrades, and another has similar licensing terms to Easy Explorer and sells for $25. Very different circumstances from Easy Explorer which sells for $3, works indefinitely, and provides free upgrades for 12 months from the date of license activation (not from the date of purchase).

Just to clarify - a license allows you to install Easy Explorer on a single computer/laptop. If you have 10 computers, you need to buy 10 licenses. That's the licensing terms. Once activated, you can use the product indefinitely. But we know users sometimes reintall/upgrade the OS/computer, as per your example. In those circumstances, just drop us a line at supportyohz.com, and we'll sort it out for you. If you need to use the product urgently (unlikely because Easy Explorer isn't a mission-critical type of software), just download and use the trial version. I'm sure we'll respond well within the 14 days of the trial period.

To everyone who's sent us emails for support/licensing issues and have not received a reply, you can send your emails to my personal account at yeoh.ray.mondyohz.com or rmyeohgmail.com.

- added an option to persist layout for current session
- refreshing an explorer window now persists the selected item
- added option to hide hot key button
- added additional display styles
- added button to navigate to parent folder
- fixed bug with missing images on main menu
- fixed issue with hidden refresh and bookmarks button on toolbar
- last used 'style' is now persisted across sessions
- individual window's display style is now stored as part of each layout

Mark Harper This looks to be a really useful piece of software and I am trialling it now. However, I find the licensing rather confusing and will not purchase without clarification.
I praise the publisher for making the license a user license rather than a machine license. BUT from THE FINE PRINT, two statements seem to conflict and it is this that is preventing me from purchasing at the moment.
The first statement is “Easy Explorer is licensed per user, so if more people are going to use Easy Explorer you will need to purchase additional copies.”. This implies that if I buy a license, I may use it on all my PCs.
The second statement “Online license activation is required with a hardware footprint, and 1 installation per footprint.”. This conflicts with the first statement and implies that the license can only be used on a single PC.
Can some please clarify which is true so that I can decide whether to purchase or just walk away?
If it is the case that it is one license per PC, can you please provide the opportunity to buy a bundle of say five licenses at once at a discounted price?

Bradley MacDonald Very impressive tool. I have just purchased multiple copies for my machines. At this price - I want to support the author!

Have you thought about putting in the ability to have multiple file list area (ie not having a tree for each one). Another product called Directory Opus has this feature where you can have multiple file lists for each tree view - each in its own tab. So where you have Explore | Search Results ..... You could have something like Tab1 | Tab2 | Tab3 | Search Results

This feature is one I love from Directory Opus - and would save space in your user interface in some circumstances.

I like this tool. Thank you for putting it on sale here!

Adrian Williams I've just bought 3 licences at this crazy price. I'd like to see a better preview option in future, with the ability to preview video files. The simple layout is clean and functional. The program is not as feature-rich as explorer2 but it is much less expensive and the filter and search option work well. Overall, if you prefer to good old-fashioned explorer style in windows 11, this is the way to go. I'm aware of the one PC licence approach but I'm sure an email to the developer in the event of a PC recovery or re-install would fix it. Use disk imaging software as your backup periodically and your recovery procedure will include the licence anyway.

Andres Florez Herrero Hello, I also bought the product. Improvements: I would like a double click to level up and a preview of the most popular files. Thank you

Robert Crombie If I was the pilot on the first flight tp Mars, and half way there I fired up the computer and found the only file manager was Windows Explorer, I would change the flight path into the Sun.
Most companies don't have Analysts any more, and they let young programmers design interfaces.
I detest the mine shaft where MS likes to store stuff. EG the default locations for downloads, etc.
And the young programmer decided to give those folders prominence in the opening interface,
Whereas I want direct easy access to the C drive, where for example i have the folder C:\DOWNLOADS\ where I store stuff.
Practically every other file manager does not shove the 'mine shaft' folders in your face when you open the program.
Does your program allow us to make the interface more normal ?
PS I just installed your trial. Your young programmer has replicated MS's young programmers design. I do not want those 6 mine shaft folders occupying the first 6 lines in the tree, when I am positioned on the C drive. DO does not do that, and I am pretty sure other file managers do what I want. That will be a deal breaker for me, as I have avoided MS's file manager for decades for that reason. I was a senior analyst in IT fro 20 years. I wish you would hire an analyst.

datavet Unable to make the transaction. BitsDuJour does not check the links or test if the transaction works. Once paid, I didn't receive the confirmation email, and the link to download the software does not work. Be cautious if you want to use BitsDuJour for software purchases. I'm going for a refund.

William Henry Was sent an EMAIL from YOHZ SOFTWARE, and sent to this link, it promoted 70% off Easy Explorer within 24 hours.,
And that ends tonight and the BitsDuJour price is the same as YOHZ SOFTWARE'S site, so Is there a 70% promotion code, bringing it to $4.50?????
I received the email SAT 5/6/2023 at 10PM.

Robert Crombie There are a few things that irritate me about Windows Explorer -
1) The young programmers (Companie's don't appear to use Analysts anymore) assume we love to use the documents (etc) folders that are buried miles down a mineshaft dug by a rabid wombat. I hate those folders, as how can one readily back up your files. I create folders at the C level EG C:\DOWNLOADS
The young programmers fill the left side with those mineshaft folders, forcing us to constantly search for the C drive.
2) Windows Explorer (or whatever MS calls it this year) forgets the layout you last used.

If this giveaway remembers the last layout (plural if we had multiple tabs open), that would mitigate most of my concerns. ?
The description above says we can save layouts, BUT I would like it to automatically remember my last session for all tabs ?

AND can you build in a feature like - Tick a box, and that will grant your program/Windows Explorer to manipulate any files/folders.?
Windows 11 is driving me crazy with it barring me from doing what I want on MY pc.
I would pay big money for that feature

Paul Kelly I purchased this some years ago and use it daily. Clean, simple, multipane file browser - it does everything I want in a file browser without a lot of extra whiz-bang clutter of features I don't care about. For $4.50? Can't go wrong.

Robert Crombie For the price, I bought this to experiment.
The good news - On first open, immediately I preferred your display. It is usable
Whereas Windows Explorer makes me want to slash my wrists.
The bad'ish news - I was hoping you would have Tabs. What you have is called Windows. I have never been a fan of 'Tiles' file managers.
If I have a few 'Windows' open (Tiles), and they are all side by side (the way god intended), it would be nice if a click on the address bar automatically widened that 'Tile' to a width pre-set in Settings (to say 90%)
I could live with that (pretending to be tabs)

Yeoh Ray Mond @Robert Crombie You can set up Easy Explorer to use the (last closed) layout as the default layout via the Settings options.

With regards to file/folder manipulation, could you please provide an example where Windows Explorer requires explicit permissions before allowing you to work with a specific file/folder?

@Paul Kelly Thank you for your support.

@Robert Crombie It isn't possible to have multiple tabs as currently displayed in Windows 11's File Explorer. It is possible to dock multiple 'tiles' to form a tab-like layout, but the tabs are displayed on the bottom and not on the top.

Thanks for response(s)
My problems with W11 blocking file management were mostly with thumb drives, and particularly attempts to use a thumb drive in my Telstra (Aust) modem.
I have given up on the thumb in the modem.
Also I acquired a USB Switcher which I recommend to all that jump between PCs.

Regarding your program, I am very pleased with it. You shoud send a copy to MS's young programmers, so they can see what an unholy mess their Windows Explorer is (W11 task mgr still calls it thst)
With your program, I have settled on a single 'Window' and am using the Bookmarks bar.
If one has a few bookmarks, it can be treated as if they are tabs. That is what I will be doing.
In fact, I prefer that layout to the one that Directory Opus displays for its tabs.

I heartily recommend this program to all that are reading this.

Mark Snyder So I love the software and I have been using it on and off all day on a file management project moving files around. I am using Windows 11 and it crashes after I have moved like maybe 10 files. I can immediately reopen but what a pain. Now I wonder if my files being moved are safe? I do have backups but... Are there plans to make it more stable in Windows 11?

Yeoh Ray Mond @Mark Snyder Could you please send us at support@yohz.com the steps to reproduce the error? Do the files need to be of a minimum size, are the source or destination folders protected folders that require special permissions, etc? Thank you.

Mark Snyder My drives are not encrypted/protected. I just had two explorer windows opened side-by-side and drag from left to right. I have the configuration as a favorite. When it did crash I was able to open right away and go back using the favorite to finish my project. Other apps like MultiCommander which is free does not crash.

Yeoh Ray Mond @Mark Snyder - I've sent you an email providing instructions on how to create a crash log so that we can reproduce the error on our side. If you did not receive the email, it may have ended up in your spam folder.

Randal H. I have experienced EasyExplorer crashing too, both with older version and the latest (I hoped upgrading would fix the issue). Previously on Windows 10, now on Windows 11, and a newer PC. I found that running EasyExplorer as administrator eliminates the crashing - maybe this bit of info will help.

Mark Snyder I took Randal H advice and made it so the app run only in Admin mode. It still crashes after 5 or 6 file moves. Give this app a one star for effort. Unless the crashing issue is fixed I cannot trust the apps to move my files around and not have to worry if the files are really there. . Too bad because I love the format and ease of use. Yeoh Ray even sent me and updated version but same issue. :(
