<description><![CDATA[nonono
never ever
i've tried and very dissapointed
way too simple
and also few cons: esc doesnt work on the dialogs. if you use "configure" dialog, and press on files - it is simple hides the configure dialog behind.strange behavior..
no way i will use it!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the link to the xplorer2 lite. I’ve been using the old 2Xplorer and hadn’t seen the updated version yet. However, I’ll also give the featured giveaway a try.

It’s really amazing though, how often there is freeware available that equals or surpasses a lot of the paid programs out there.

One note…Xplorer2 lite comes with a notepad replacement called Editor2 with it.
For those who want an AMAZING freeware notepad replacement with a very impressive list of features, you can’t beat TED Notepad. I’ve tried MANY text editors, free and paid, and TED Notepad outdoes them all. TNP can sort text lines alphabetically, change cases between upper and lower in text, and much more. It even has a feature called “Unique” which is able to find and remove text duplicate lines. When I first found TNP, it replaced about 5 other text editing programs I had.
Below are links to TNP and to its user manual, where you can check out all the features this freeware text editor/notepad replacement offers.

<description><![CDATA[This is an out of time comment for people like me that use to read past comments in order to find the best alternatives to GAOTD softwares...   The one I use with excellent results for replacing dumb Windows Explorer is AC Browser Plus. It can open multiple panes, look at images, edit images, find archives, convert archives, zip/unzip, rar/unrar, ftp functions and a long etcetera. Even this is a commercial program well worth the money, the free version has only the limitation of opening just three panes, that for me is usually enough. Look carefully the free link as it is somewhat hidden and don't have the link at hand now. PD: The only counterpart I find to ACB is that ftp is slow, so it's very useful to upload few archives. For more serious ftp tasks use other (free) ftp programs.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#55 - Novatix sold Explorer Plus to WUGNUT Publications who intended to update the program. They came to the realization that upgrading the program would be too expensive. The interesting part is that WUGNUT made a deal with GPSoft who is now offering DOpus for $30 to registered owners of Explorer Plus. It was an offer I could not refuse. :)

Regarding AFN, I tried it just for fun but quickly uninstalled it. I found it to be buggy and surprisingly lacking in functionality. It would not even sort a directory listing by date for me.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Re #2. If you like PowerDesk have you ever looked at ExplorerPlus by Novatix?

I believe it was written by the same people who wrote PowerDesk except that they'd sold the rights to it (at last word it was owned by V-COM) so they wrote a newer updated PowerDesk and called it ExplorerPlus. It is hard to track down a retail copy as the company has name changed and also changed hands but for my money Explorerplus is absolutely the best File Manager around (and from memory it think it even worked with the dreadfully incompatable M$ Vista).

Having said all that, I'll still install AFN Windows Shell and give it a go. 

Many thanks from me to the team at GOTD]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[XYPlorerFree
http://www.xyplorer.com/free.php
It does not require Installing, it just runs.
It is free.
It leaves Windows Explorer for dead, as a File Manager.
You can change the font and size.
You can change the colors (eg I have the whole selected line in a special color).

It has Tabs.
I have a Tab locked to a Folder called Downloads.
All my downloads go into that folder.
I have it(just that Tab) sorted by Date, so most recent are at the top.
So say I was on a web page, describing a program.
I can save the web page, and then click the download link.
Later when I go to that Tab, the two files will be adjacent to each other, and I can move them to where I choose.
And if you had the focus (in your normal tab), on the folder where you wish to move them, you can just drag them to the normal folder's Tab. 

For searches -
- It does not build a pre index.
- It is very fast.
When you wish to do a search, you press F12
A panel appears at the bottom, defaulting to where you had the focus in the File Manger.
You set the file names eg *.txt
You set the contained words you are looking for, and start the search. It is a much simpler interface than the Windows one. 
You can filter on lots of other criteria.

You will put me in your will, if you try this program.

<description><![CDATA[There are so many excellent free alternatives that I would only consider downloading this one even for a free evaluation if its feature set included something that exceeded the competition. It doesn't, which makes buying the product at its regular price even less attractive. My fave is PowerDesk. The free version has a good feature set and performs well, and the Pro version is worth the price if you want the extra functions.]]></description>
