MikeW Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Windows explorer is a very very slow and wasteful application.On my old p3 450mhz windows xp machine navigating between folders is painfully slow, but browsing files over the network share is practically instant.Also, in a directory stuffed with files, its difficult to jump to the one im looking for, I wish there was some filter bar where I could type *big.jpg and filter down all the files (actually, does anyone know if such an explorer extention exists?)

BigDaddy Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 [quote name='MikeW' date='Jun 22 2004, 11:28 PM']Hey guys, For those of you out there that no-longer use windows explorer, what do you suggest as a replacement for it? Im not looking for bloat, don't need a bazillion things in it that make it slower to run Cheers [right][post="144467"][/post][/right][/quote] I've been asking the same thing myself. So guys, help out here: So far I only tried Total Commander which has a few advantages over Explorer but not quite what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a FileManager that is similar to Explorer but it has: speed mesurment when copying files, 2pane view + TREE, better file handling,... What are your recomendations. btw. Pliz don't give that EXPLORER.EXE is all you want crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
