    Q-Dir makes your files and folder easy to manage. Fast and easy access, with an amazing Quadro-View (4 panes) technique. You dont have to renounce the usual, Drag and Drop, all Views, and other functions of your system. No! Q-Dir gives you other nice functions, that make you happy. One can save many hand moves and also time!

    Q-Dir does not have to be installed and can be executed easily from the desktop. Rename Q-Dir_Installer.exe to Q-Dir.exe and GO.

    It's a small famous utility for Windows PC-s and also an USB-stick friend :).

    Extremely lightweight and damn fast. Supports multi-pane split windows, tabs, picture preview, favorites, quick-links, and many more stuff. Highly customizable. By far the best file manager among the lightweight explorer replacements. Strongly recommended.

    It has color filters, tree view, lots of shortcut buttons, easy interface.
    The individual panes have all the features from explorer. (context menu, icons, grouping, sorting, filter etc.)
    Also strongly recommended.

    IMO, Q-dir is the best file manager [for Windows] for power users and professionals. The interface is highly, easily, and quickly changed between different split view configurations, and many power user options are available from menu and hot-key shortcuts.

    I keep the portable version on my flash drive, because working on PC's without q-dir is nearly painful.

    Great application. I dont have to remember which folders I had open, I dont have to go through explorer and traverse as much as before. Helps with productivity!
