Have you recently switched to Windows 10, 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!
Haven't you been putting up with Windows Explorer long enough? Do you want to move to a more powerful, flexible file management system?
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 5.4! The big news? xplorer² is now even MORE of a comprehensive Windows Explorer replacement. Version 5.4 brings:
- Miller columns. Side-by-side folder browsing mode imported from Mac Finder, alternative to tabbed browsing, shows a family of nearby folders in columns.
- Mouse peek. Instant pop-up large preview of the focused item using 2-buttons or the keyboard. Offers big previews without wasting screen space — and goes away with a click or key.
- Quick access list. Instead of a cluttered folder tree, hand pick your favorite folders and place them at the top of the tree for easy access.
- Manual icon positions. Arrange icon or thumbnail folders with your mouse, putting icons where you like them (desktop-like). Save icon locations for next time you enter the folder.
- Phone backup. Use backup semantics (overwrite if newer else skip) to copy files from/to mobile phones and from compressed zipfolders and similar archives, bringing them on par with filesystem robust copy.
- Enhanced folder statistics. Detailed folder size information including pie charts for a better visual grip. Discover and delete empty folders and see which are the biggest files.
- Fast duplicate files detection. A new detection algorithm can scan your entire hard disk in a matter of seconds instead of hours. Discovering and deleting duplicate files has never been easier.
- Find files as you type. Find filenames quickly using the quick filter box, and work with search results fluently in a popup minisearch pane, without extra scrap windows.
- Dual folder trees. Optional separate trees for each pane.
The application also features network responsiveness, faster folder statistics, searchable advanced settings, zoom and rotate images, touch scrolling works, easy folder background menu and group ID property.
But that's not all! Check out the v4.4 change log for even more improvements!

- “I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for making such a great product! I have to work with large numbers of files and folders in the course of my work. I used multiple specialized utilities to help me out, but was dependant on Explorer as my main window to my assets. I recently went in search of a better way and I found around 8 different products on the internet. I chose to try yours for a handful of features I knew I really wanted. Having used it for a couple of months now I cannot believe how many more great features I've come across that really help me in my work! It has far exceeded my expectations and has really changed my workflow techniques for the better.”- Christian Johnson
- “Thank you for your fast response time. You provide not only a terrific product but also a great support. That's not so common these days.”- Antoine Bonin
- “I don't usually get excited about this kind of thing, but I am soooo happy I found this program. I work with a large number of files; maybe 50 folders of 5k-40k files per folder. Windows Explorer is just unbarebly slow. It can litterally take 5 minutes to get a file listing with Windows Explorer and it takes just a few seconds xplorer2. This is going to save me a LOT OF TIME!”- Jeff Wilson
- “I just wanted to give you a remarkable word or two. Not only is xplorer 2 unbelievably stable, with all the functions and it's capabilities, it's speed is amazing. Opening up drives, the screen fills instantly. And with all these built in extras to not see a bit of drag or lag is actually an exciting thing!”- Keith Breen
- “Just a personal note. I had been using 2xExplorer for some time and recently purchased xplorer2. You have done some fabulous work here, and I'm completely addicted. As a programmer myself, I use the PC constantly, and xplorer2 is indispensable. It's one of the first programs that gets installed on any new system. So, Thanks!”- Matt Gatchell
- “No complaints, no request for help, just my congratulations on, not only a wonderfully well thought-out and implemented program, but also on the manual, which sets a standard which few software comapnies of any size manage to attain. In some ways I think that writing a great manual is more difficult than writing a great program - but you've managed both! Thanks, from a very, very satisfied customer.”- Julian Eade
