Windows Explorer Replacement and Enhancements

Windows Explorer that comes by default with the Windows XP, Vista etc., are suitable only for basic operations. But it cannot be claimed as the Complete Explorer. I thought of recommending some of the Softwares that can either Replace Explorer / Enhance Explorer functionalities.

Replacers :

1) Accelman (Link)

The best FREE Explorer replacement that will make you to forget the Windows Explorer. Has very enhanced functionalities like Pause/Resume Copy/Move Operations, Multiple Tabs, Split Windows, Inbuilt Archivers, Formatters, Bookmarks, Advanced Search, Audio/Video Players, Image Viewer with Slide Show and much more.. Try it out yourself. Best of all, its FREE.. You will get the Free License key from the site itself.

2) FreeCommander (LINK)

One another FREE Explorer replacements, but not as advanced as Accelman, but definitely more advanced than WIndows Explorer. Worth a try, since this is also a FREE tool.

Apart from these two, there are many other Explorer Replacement tools like xPlorer2 Lite, Explorer XP, Cubic Explorer etc., but Personally I didnt find them as interesting as Accelman. Give it a try yourself.

This LINK compares some of the explorer. FYI.

Enhancements:

These tools will enhance the functionality of the Windows Explorer.

1) Teracopy (LINK)

One of the best Tool that enhances the Copy/Move of Files/Folders in Explorer. YOu can pause/resume your copy/move operations, and it will copy the files much much faster. You can also choose the condition to overwrite the existing file etc. Moreover, its FREE.

2) QT Tabbar (LINK)

Provides the functionality of multiple Tabs in the single Explorer windows. You dont need to open multiple windows now... BTW, its FREE. :)

3) QT Breadcrumb Address Bar (LINK)

Provides the Vista/Windows7 Like Breadcrumb functionality in Explorer of Windows XP and below. Worth a try.

4) Folder Guide (LINK)

Quickest way to move between the folders. Add the folder to this list and navigate to the folders quick with just a right click.


Apart from these, there are many other tools online. The tools that i have listed above are the ones that I use daily and found it useful.
