Propably the best Windows Explorer Alternative you can get for free, at least in my opinion.
It has loads of possibilities to customize views and behaviour (but can sometimes be a bit awkward or confusing)
It takes a bit time to get used to, but then it is really nice to use.
And the best:
its free,
has no ads,
and is highly customizable.
I would totally recommend it
My VERY favorite Windows Explorer alternative. It's like Windows Explorer, Dolphin, QtTabBar all rolled into one! HIGHLY recommend for the tweaker/power user/hacker. Plug-ins and scripting help round out this as-close-to-perfect-as-possible well-crafted piece of software architecture. Add to the fact it's free and you have an award-winning file and system management champion software!
No "Find File" Search Toolbar
Good features are inherent, but they are inconvenient to use.
It is not user-friendly and not sophisticated.
Very interesting!
Comes with copy / move handler, faster than Windows Explorer. Free of charge, closed source though.
Powerful, but yet simple in usage. It's just compareable to FreeCommander with some other features. I would say, it is a matter of personal preferences. MC has my recommondation.
