Freeware of the Moment: Xplorer2

Xplorer2Maybe it’s just me, but I tend to move in and out of my folder directories quite a bit during the day. In Vista, that’s much less a chore than in XP thanks to some of the navigational features in the new OS. For XP, it can be a little painful, but thanks to Lifehacker you can reduce the pain. Gina Trapani features an Explorer alternative called Xplorer2; it comes in both a free and a $30 Pro version, but I’d expect most users will find the free version to be more than adequate.

Gina provides a walk-through of many key Xplorer2 features such as: dual folder listings in a single pane, tabbed exploring, bookmarking folders and files, persistent FTP folder support, and much more. The tabbed exploring works really well for me in XP on the UMPC as it’s a very quick way to jump around my folder structures with the touch of a finger.
