essential Windows complement when dealing with many thousands of files.
I have used explorerXP since inception on every computer i have used professionally and personally, and it has worked for Windows XP, Vista, 7 and now 8. It is essential when dealing with 3 - 10 partitions, umpteen folders each and untold numbers of files, for the simple reason that one instantly sees sizes of each of these items. This greatly facilitates looking for lost folders and files of given sizes and keeping partitions clean enough to permit running the computer at a decent pace.
i have tried a number of commercial programs which also show folder sizes, but most of these are much more complex, more potential, and typically much slower than explorerXP.
in short, I start virtually every session with this little program, and it enormously speeds up organizing and finding the files I need. Pros: change names of individual or groups of folders and files large number of tabs in single view multiple instances of same folder or partition cutting and copying between and within windows
Cons: in Windows Vista, 7, 8, right-click menu has the usual options for dealing with a file or folder, but options are not labeled
