Xplorer2 is a file and information manager that adheres to the philosophy "efficiency through simplicity". Without reinventing the wheel, it integrates the best features of Windows' shell architecture in a small, resource efficient package that's instantly familiar to work with. But look a little closer and you'll discover a whole new world under the surface that offers power, precision and flexibility, and will boost your everyday productivity no end!
All the shell goodies from windows explorer — none of the hassle! Plus all the features you would expect from a powerful tabbed dual-pane file manager, including Omni-Finder, a find files module that simply outclasses all known search tools. Don't take our word for it, seeing is believing!
Shell namespace explorer
Xplorer2 will browse and manage all your folders including virtual ones folders like zipfolders, webfolders, even FTP, as long as these services are available in your system. If you extend your shell namespace with new folder types, Xplorer2 will read them too, in a familiar tree/view window format.
Tabbed dual-pane interface
Can't decide between dual pane and tabbed browsing? No worries, Xplorer2 does them all. The traditional dual-pane format, handy for comparisons and file transfers, is augmented so that each pane can hold more than one folder. Hopping from one folder to another is just a tab click away.
Instant preview of files
Xplorer2 can preview most text, graphics, audio/video, and html & office documents — and does so in nearly all folder types including zipfolders etc. Wherever it finds file-like content it offers file-like access!
Browsing flexibility
You can browse your content in most useful view modes supported by explorer, including thumbnails. Within large folders you will appreciate the organization capabilities offered by arranging in groups and multi-way sort. Xplorer2 will remember your favorite mode for each folder.

Do not buy!.
Zabkat is a total ripoff in their upgrade system. We bought the ultimate edition for $49.95 and "free lifetime upgrades assurance" for $59.95 when version 2.X was out. When version 3.X came out we tried to upgrade and it says it can't validate our license key. After sending emails with them, they refuse to address the situation. They give you 1 shot to actually use the upgrade. According to their website: "you can only claim your free or discounted upgrade once. So please make sure you use a valid email address. To avoid delays please use the same name and email address you used when you first purchased xplorer² - assuming the email is still working." so we are forever stuck with version 2.X.
Pros:
tabs
file rename
Cons:
Clicking on most things in the start menu gives an "there was a problem sending the command to the program" error.

A Great Alternative To Windows Explorer.
I have used both Xplorer2 and Xplorer2 Lite and I must say you can't go wrong with either version. I recommend Xplorer2 Lite myself for the fact it's free and most people just don't need the additional features Xplorer2 has that Xplorer2 Lite doesn't have. To me what separates Xplorer2 and Xplorer2 Lite from the rest is the fact that they are in a way just like Windows Explorer except with a duel panel and added features. For instance if you right click on computer and choose properties the same window will show up in Xplorer2 and Xplorer2 Lite as it would in Windows Explorer. The tree style is the same by default as Windows Explorer where as most of the others show the sub menus once you click on part of the tree like computer.
Pros:
Xplorer2 Lite is free
Adds extra features
Keeps Windows Explorer's main features
Nice dual panel for moving files from one folder to another
Flawless ingratiation between Xplorer2 and Windows Explorer
Cons:
Only Xplorer2 Lite is free
Can freeze at times
Xplorer2 Lite isn't updated as much as Xplorer2 More
