When you’re not looking all these new things start popping up. Further to my post on Directory Opus, here’s another option for file managers: the exotically named A43 File Management from BG’s Home. And it’s free.
Version 2.40 works with Windows 2000/XP. It offers the following:
- Integrated text editor.
- Integrated zip/unzip features.
- Integrated file search.
- Integrated quick launch area.
- Favorite buttons to quickly open those often used folders.
- Dual-pane view.
- Requires no installation, no data is written to the system registry.
Definitely worth a look. Don’t know much about the person behind, other than they’re called B G Miller.
There is also ExplorerXP. My only experience with A43 & ExplorerXP comes from BartPE, where A43 is unbelievably slow, especially when opening folders with many files (like c:windowssystem32). How does its performance compare in normal situations?
