- Bundleware Since version 3.1.0, the program contains adwares, as reported on Reddit and VirusTotal. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/4uqswo/new_version_of_clover_out_310_tabbed_windows/d96tkpy/
- It is not a file manager in itself like Explorer++. But, it is an add-on that gives Windows Explorer a tabbed interface, like Explorer++. AntumDeluge • Dec 2017

Explorer++ is now open source

Post by David Erceg » Sun Jan 17, 2010 5:23 pm
Hi everyone,

I'm glad to announce today that the Explorer++ source code has been released under the GNU GPLv3 license. A major factor in my decision to release the code was the desire to have input from other programmers, which I hope will lead to increased quality and shorter release times for Explorer++. The source code is available from SourceForge.

Extremely slow when switching between folders. There's always a delay.
