Obviously taste and preference of each one is different. I have tried older versions of Powerdesk and thought it is the best. But comparing the others, I feel directory Opus is far better than others. My rating for Directory opus * * * * *

I have Word 7 files in a network drive, which Windows 7 won’t index. Any suggestions?
Also–I would like to search for file names within folders on an external hard drive.

None bring a TRULY innovative (and sexy!) ways of exploring/presenting stuff. all columns, lists, letters, files, rows, sliders, panes… BORING!

Wish they’d make it Windows 7 compatible.

It is free.

I really loved it during the trial period, but it’s just that it is expensive AND it doesn’t even have a lifetime license then…

For now, I’ll switch between CubicExplorer and xplorer² (made them default for folders for a time)… both are great. The first is easier to use, the second is faster than Total Commander regarding any operation. Worth its price.

Explorer is so unbelievably slow for me, I’m game to try some alternatives.

Tried about 10 different Explorers myself. It has the most convenient way to manage the files. Dual Pane and easy to use. I love it! Never found another one which is that clean and useful! Thinking about getting the pro version… :-)

I do know that the only way for colored names is to compress files via file clean up or encrypt files. Since I’m not going to do either (and thus make my files unusable), does any of these do this? I didn’t see any features expressed on this page saying so.

And considering that, like Windows Explorer, it allows you to drag & drop without any confirmation, Undo is an absolute necessity unless you want to spend hours trying to figure out what you accidentally dragged somewhere it doesn’t belong. Other than that, I love it.

My hard drive has issues. Sometimes when I want to transfer a large folder, I get an error message during the transfer “Cyclic redundancy check”. The problem is that it cancels the whole scan, so I have to start all over again. This is the only thing I really hate about Windows Explorer. Is there a way to stop the transfer from getting canceled each time? I know there is a program that will transfer the files and notify you afterwards if there were any errors. Anyone know the name?
