Windows Explorer alternatives
If you feel that Windows Explorer is not meeting you needs, you may want to investigate an alternative. You can also perform your own search in the search box above by entering in the keywords File Manager or File Management and selecting "Downloads" from the drop-down menu.
However, I recommend two Windows Explorer replacements. The first one is Singularity, a shareware program by Andrei Belogortseff at WinAbility. Singularity's interface consists of two vertical panes in which are displayed two easily navigable file lists. As you can imagine, this configuration makes it easy to copy and move files from one location on the hard drive to another. Singularity has a bunch of other features that make it a top-notch file management program. For example, you will find features that give you the ability to create a new folder, rename a file, or instantly launch find all by clicking buttons on the toolbar. There are two version of Singularityâ€"one specifically optimised for Windows NT4/2000 and one that works in all versions of Windows.
The second Windows Explorer replacement that I recommend is called Windows Commander from Christian Ghisler. This file management tool also give you side-by-side panes, but also allows you to change its interface to one similar to Windows Explorer, with a folder tree in one pane and a file list in the other. Basically, you can get the best of both worlds in one tool.
