It looks very native to Windows, and the themes are awesome. Tabbed browsing is a great feature, and for power users, there is a lot of tools like bulk renaming.

  • Tabbed Browsing
  • Standard & Touch Themes
  • Batch Rename
  • Custom Context Menu
  • Custom Columns
  • Filtering
  • Conditional Formatting
  • Save & Load Layout
  • Tree View Sorting
  • Drag & Drop Support
  • Row Number
  • Printing and Exporting
