Respected readers welcome, After using several programs i discovered Xyplorer, it has all the features which many of them where missing.Even Total commander hasn't got some of them like Undo/redo,customizable keyboard shortcuts etc...Directory opus also fails in comparison to this in easy usage.Don't take my word for belief compare yourselves. The greatest things are that i am discovering new features every month and the developer of Xy "Donald" improves it daily. Main features-- 1) Dual pane file manager with tabs. 2) Queued file operations. 3) One-click previews of all important image, audio. 4. Undo/redo of file operations 5. Customizable keyboard shortcuts. 6. Powerful file search. Also one can set single key shortcuts for back/forward like "[" for back and "]" for forward,usually in win explorer this happens by alt+left arrow/right arrow. Set "/" for root of the folder,which takes you to d: or c: even though one is in deep sub-folders. Use google to download the software,as i'm not allowed to post links.
Install XYPlorer, go to the installed directory and delete the file Startup.ini That file tells XYPlorer where to store the configuration files, including the registration info, default is %appdata%\XYplorer, by deleting it, the configuration files will be kept within the same folder as the executable.
I was fortunate to get a lifetime license and a big discount several years back, about the time that the free version was on GOTD. In the meantime I have found that FreeCommander does the same thing and it is free. I also looked at Directory Opus but it is ridiculously expensive and is trying to be an all in one utility and not just an explorer replacement, though if you disable the ftp and all the other junk it does a reasonably good job. You can't go wrong with Xyplorer IMHO.
I find that FreeCommanderXE has more capabilities. Check it out HERE at http: //freecommander.com/en/summary/
