Explorer Plus

Your home computer now acts like an extension of your own room, where you get to perform an abundance of different work, leisure, research, and more types of activities. However, you might want to organize common elements to make them easier to access, and one way to do this is to rely on applications like Explorer Plus.

You get to check out the set of features in a short while, especially since it takes only little time to get the application up and running. However, before you can enjoy what it has to offer, you need to make sure that .NET Framework is installed, although modern Windows iterations come with it as a built-in feature.

On the visual side of things, Explorer Plus keeps things simple, with a classic window frame holding all the elements you get to work with. Most of the space is split into two sections, one for browsing through different category folders, while the other serves as the creation screen, when not used to select existing items.

There are four major categories you get to work with, namely books, movies, music, and games. You don’t necessarily need to have any related files on your computer, so that application can be used as a general virtual library. Each process of adding a new item only requires you to fill in a set of corresponding details, such as name, author, publisher, date, rating, price, and more. However, there’s also the possibility to link a file to be quickly opened.

In case you’re not exactly sure you got everything right, the application comes with an option to search online, although results are not always provided. When not used, the application can quietly sit in the system tray. It would have been useful to be able to add password protection, in case you don’t want others to go through your collection.

With the variety of books, movies, music, and video games you can own, it’s a good idea to keep an organized database of all of them. This is exactly what Explorer Plus lets you accomplish in an intuitive design that’s easy to understand by beginners and experienced individuals alike.
