No x2 window launches. Process is running in task manager.

Is that better?

Windows 8

Tried running xplorer 2 Ultimate in Windows 8 Pro (64 bit). Doesn't work. Anything on the horizon to add compatibility? I'm missing my favorite file program.

Brilliant

You have captured the essence of Windows 8. Users are cockroaches squirming under Microsoft's thumb.

Initial experience

As they used to say at NASA, "All systems go." Beta seems to be working like the released version, only better.

@Tuxman and @Kilmatead Do you guys realize that your negative, often hostile comments may disuade other people from commenting or participating in this forum. Didn't your mothers ever say, "If you don't have something nice to say, keep your mouth closed"? Or in this case your hands off the...

You should consider signing up for Twitter. It only takes a moment. Then you can post update information that way as well as to your website and this forum. It can be a simple, effective way to publicize all your great work. You need not follow other people. Only post a tweet when it makes sense. Th...

Tell a friend... needs work

Nikos: I was surprised when I went to the Help—>Tell a friend... link that Internet Explorer was launched to go to Twitter website rather than my default browser Firefox. Consequently, I had to sign in to Twitter and then post the tweet, rather than directly posting the tweet via Firefox, where I am...

Add Windows 7 Windows Explorer features

I like the Windows 7 Windows Explorer sidebar with favorites (AKA bookmarks) at the top. You might add this feature to your directory tree.

The headline, "Are you fed up with windows explorer? " seems too negative. I think a more positive, assertive approach would be better.

Perhaps,
xplorer² is what Windows Explorer should be!

Have you ever looked at the Mac OS X preview?

OS X has a Preview application that is what X2 might emulate.  Select a file, press the spacebar key and a window of the doc opens immediately.  You can page through it as well. Press spacebar again and the preview window closes. Media files are playable. Windows could benefit from this.   X2 does a...

I trust Nikos over Symantec (Norton).

Here is a recent article (May 16, 2010) that describes Symantec's false positives on World of Warcraft. http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=8803

Thanks for this link. I downloaded and ran the utility.  I found that about 10% of my computer's shortcuts where dead. They are now deleted. I am amazed that I have 830 active shortcuts left.
