XYplorer

Tired of the default Windows Explorer? Well, not many can say that, as the Explorer is just taken for granted, without users focusing too much on it. Still, if you are digging through files and folders every day and the Explorer starts to look unappealing, you can change that. XYplorer offers you an alternative way to sift through your files and folders.

At first sight, XYplorer may look like a shrunken version of the basic one. However, investing a couple of minutes into it will reveal an intricate application that provides the user with tabbed browsing, a new and improved file search feature, tons of customization options and automatic tasks, together with superior response times.

On top of that, shortcuts and hotkeys can be employed at will and not too much different from the default Explorer ones. Each item on the toolbar that supports hotkeys will have the combination displayed on the same row. On the flip side, if you are new to shortcuts, having to learn them all might take a big chunk of your time. Still, that might be worth it, as your productivity will be positively impacted in the end.

For those who prefer to program the app and then lay back and watch it work, there is good news. XYplorer's script support is not a hidden thing. In fact, there is a dedicated forum on this subject, where users can discuss and share all types of scripts. Strings and commands can be easily found and debated with other forum members. Just visit the app's home page and check out the Support section.

XYplroer strives to bring a fresh feel to the mundane Windows Explorer, particularly for individuals who prefer to move items or jump to directories quicker or employ the use of scripted tasks, as well as for those who simply wish to experiment with a new explorer system.
