Windows Explorer seems to suit your needs when you first start using it, but after a while you begin to wonder if there's a better alternative to having all of those open folder windows all over your desktop.
XYplorer is a game changer.
XYplorer is a file manager for Windows that offers a multi-tabbed interface, powerful file search abilities, flexible file preview capability, and the ability to automate frequently recurring file management tasks. And, unlike those heavy-footprint Microsoft implementations, XYplorer is fully portable - it doesn't require installation, and makes no changes to your Windows registry! You can even run it off of a USB flash drive!
Let's talk about tabs. You use them all the time in your web browsing, so why not use them for file management too? Because until now, you couldn't, that's why!
XYplorer keeps all of your open folders conveniently arranged in tabs, and even remembers open tabs between sessions. Keep your favorite files and folders color coded in the Favorites panel. Rename batches of files with a single click. View images as thumbnails and easily reveal all details about an MP3 file with a simple mouseover. Perform highly sophisticated searches using Boolean logic and regular expressions.
And how many times have you wanted to save and print out the contents of a Windows folder? With XYplorer, you can export extended file information to an Excel spreadsheet!
XYplorer does not rest on its laurels, and is constantly being updated. The latest and greatest version features a new Address Bar Deluxe that rocks Unicode support, autocomplete for paths and files, and tab navigation through open items. Combined with even faster performance, color coding for file types, and improved scripting, there's no better time than the present to dive into XYplorer!

- “Robust features and extremely fast. I have used this portable software daily (9 to 10 hours a day) for approximately one year. I truly believe this is my most useful software on the windows platform.
I have purchased/used several explorers over the last 14 years. This software stands in a league all it's own. I use the portable version on a Corsair Survivor GT. I often have 10-12 tabs open at a time (accessing Network drives). XYplorer is extremely fast at accessing the network drives and uses very little resources. Adding templates to the 'New Items' options (right click in a window) ==> provides a great deal of flexibility. The Wiki knowledgebase link (from the developer's web site) provides a wealth of easily understandable information. The scripting is also quite powerful. I spend approximately $1,500 on software each year and this is the best application I own. I liked the software enough to buy a lifetime license (and I very seldom buy these type of licenses). This software is consistently rated 5 out of 5 on many web sites. My review is typical of the comments/ratings posted. Thanks for the great software.

- “XYplorer is not about any one particular feature; it's about how all those little parts come together to form a cohesive application. Days, weeks, months after you install this gem you will notice those little treats that will make you smile, and say to yourself, "Mmmm, Nice." Anyone who has used this app for any length of time will see that every feature was carefully considered before it was added. Just USE it. You will love it!
This application is a work of art, it really is that.”- Ax Fleming, USA
- “Let's face it, I'm a hopeless techno-junkie. My latest fix, "XYplorer" is the cleverest file management program I have ever encountered and I've been vetting software for quite a few years. Having used several file managers, including dual pane, I was blown away by XYplorer's tabbed interface. This makes flicking between several drive partitions and file groups unbelievably quick and easy.
The multitudinous things this user-friendly program can do continually amaze me but are far too numerous to go into here. It's even more astounding when you realise how small a footprint XYplorer leaves on your hard drive. It does not even have to be installed.
Importantly, I had an almost immediate and very helpful response from the developer himself, when I emailed a few questions. Not bad considering that I'm still waiting for replies months later, from others to whom I've emailed software queries.”- Brian, Western Australia
- “XYplorer is perfect for an admin like myself to take with them on an USB memory stick when helping users logged in as users or power users without having to mess around re-authenticating all the time, since they can do a RunAs on XYplorer directly and authenticate just once to then browse to many servers without the need to log the user off and on as them and without constantly being prompted over and over again for credentials, etc.
Windows Explorer does not work well with RunAs. There is a trick of using Internet Explorer instead to get around this, however, this no longer works with Internet Explorer 7.
Using XYplorer instead works great for this! All of my favorite settings will save right to the USB memory stick, and there is no need to have it installed on all the computers that I use it on since it is portable!! Very cool!”- Bruce Weston, I.T. Manager at BASIC, www.basiconline.com
- “I recently downloaded the trial version of XYplorer and am really impressed! I'm usually one to support open source communities by using and contributing to their software, as I am a software engineer by trade. Yet, there appears to be no open source project that I am happy with for file management on Windows PCs. I am usually very picky about applications' GUIs. As a software engineer, very few applications satisfy my high expectations of both visual aesthetics and usability.
Then I found XYplorer. Everything I want to do with file management is included in XYplorer. Nothing is out of place; everything is so easy to find, even information in the help files.
"I quickly found what I was looking for with your "Backup" option to act as a Copy w/ 'no to all' option that File Explorer and Windows Explorer lacks. I instantly transferred over new and newer version files from one folder on one drive to a duplicate folder on another drive. It found 2 newer versions and a dozen new files out of 16GB of 58,000 files. Wow. It would have taken me days to sort through my files and file the new ones. I might have even missed the new versions all together on my own.
I also found worthwhile options, including one of my favorites: automatic folder size calculations. I have a Western Digital Raptor drive with fast access, so I can take advantage of quick folder size calculations.”- John Suit, State College, PA, US
