Well, Microsoft have re-released it for free for Windows 10, on the Windows Store. Source on GitHub.
Wow is that ugly. But on the good side I can open side by side windows in the same container; a feature sadly missing in File Exploder...

Yeah. But I still like them in the same container. Like the old Norton product.

Look at Total Commander. It is so much better than the Windows File Explorer I do not have the time to list it all here.
I think it costs money, but they may have an evaluation version to check.
Since I got it (years ago) I pretty much never use Windows File Explorer any more.

Thanks,. Charlie. I've already got a license and that's my current file manager. I think Rick Strahl recommended this a while back. I also liked PowerDesk back in the day but that's been discontinued and never made it to 64bit iirc. Another one I tried for a while that wasn't bad is xplorer2.

OMG Dude - Norton was GREAT!!!!
I remember MANY Eons ago - I used to carry a special floppy disk with me whereever I Went (Ok - Pun intended - as Wendt is my last name). And, Norton - JUST the NC.exe program (Norton Commander) was on there - as well as a couple of other tools. Don't remember the others - but, NC was AWESOME! Without - I would get PISSED OFF if I had to deal with JUST the DOS Commands (even though - of course, I was pretty much an expert at those!).

Hey MB - I bet Ur right! Although - AFAIK - Win8 was definitely MORE of a Disaster as an OS - that Win10. I heard MANY More complaints about it - especially here in our Little World created by the Almighty Ed!
