This is not really a review but rather follow-up and clarification to a comment made by NyaR in his Feb 12th posting and some remarks about prior reviews: It has already earned back its (extremely modest cost) many times over. Almost every time I use it, I discover new features that are useful, features I didn't even know it has. Having finally gotten fed up, I did a lot of research on line in search of an alternative XYplorer was one of a handful of packages I decided to try.It only took a day or two of testing to decide that XYplorer is so good that I had no need to even try any of the other options I downloaded. But for some reason, over the years, as the designers of this produce modified and issued new releases of, they’ve screwed it up in a variety of ways: removed some useful features, added some whose purpose seems inscrutable,introduced bugs and irritating reminders that pop up to not purpose, embedded in it mechanisms for upgrades and to ensure that it’s used on only one machine-mechanisms that malfunction more often than they should (that is, more often than never). Many years ago I switched to an alternative shareware file manager which was a vast improvement in every respect over Explorer. Worse, it lacks several obviously important features. Windows Explorer has never been particularly well-designed it’s dorky and awkward to use. I could get it doing moderately complicated file-management tasks in a very short period of time. It does have an awful lot of features but because it's so well designed, users can just ignore features they don't need at the moment and/or don't want to bother learning about. That documentation, by the way, is excellent: thorough without being overwhelming, designed to facilitate access to particular topics, and there is even an extensive manual one can download in PDF from the site. The menus are so well designed and intuitive that, although I've used XYplorer heavily for almost two weeks I've yet to have to consult the on-line documentation.
