I often recommend xplorer2 to others ... and often recommend they download it from Softpedia, mainly because of its reputation as a central source of secure downloads. But this week, I noticed Lite v2.4 isn't listed (see attached). Is it being phased out for general use? (I hope not!) I'd like to em...

Thanks for your responses. I hadn't looked at it with Windows. Indeed, it displays the same way in File Explorer (the new name for Windows Explorer in Win8). The best way to get the big picture is to double click on the This PC icon on the desktop. That view clearly shows the directory as a separate...

I've attached a simplified version of what I'm seeing. The "directory" Development(acerw7) is the name of a desktop PC that's connected to the same wireless router my laptop uses. If I click on it, I get Access Denied ... which is correct. Another PC is displayed further down in the tree, ...

No, they're listed right in the main list of directories ... right along with the C: and D: drives. The Network directory is listed separately at the bottom. But I didn't think to mention that my new laptop is running Windows 8.1 ... where the label for the entire laptop is This PC (at the top ... i...

In xplorer2 Lite, what is the proper way to keep network drives from displaying? When I run Lite from my laptop, it shows directories for two other PCs in my household ... directories that I don't have access to ("Access Denied") and that I don't want cluttering my laptop's folder tree vie...

Please disregard my previous post. I was trying to run the exe by itself. When I started it using the "Advanced options" in xplorer2, it worked fine.

Thanks for the advice. I'm continuing to explore the differences between the two xplorer2 installs (one shows full PDFs and the other often doesn't). I want to view the option settings, but I'm getting this message on both PCs. How is the GUI tool supposed to be run?

http://www.zabkat.com/x2lite.htm So, there's a difference between Previews (Lite) and Good Previews (Pro Edition)? Regarding JPGs, PNGs, PDFs, RTF, etc., I think most people expect that "Preview" means they'll see a proper preview ... while more complex files (DOCX, XAR, ZIP, etc.) would ...

Any ideas of what settings or software components (e.g., Adobe) are involved? I just wanted to pass along that my success with Previews for PDFs came after I switched to Foxit Reader (v5.4.5). It's seems their shell extension(s) are properly recognized by Lite Edition — or maybe it's the other way ...

compare which PDF programs you have installed on these computers That was good advice. What I found was the FoxitReader 5.4.5 (with shell extensions installed) makes everything work.  By making it the default reader, I get full-size thumbnails with xplorer2 lite ... of the first page, of course. Th...

@nikos: Actually, lite version CAN show a usable PDF preview.  I have lite on three different PCs (two XP and one Win7).  But I get very different results: 1st XP computer: perfect PDF previews ... full sized in the right panel 2nd XP computer: no PDF preview ... only Hex characters Win 7 computer: ...

Yes, that PDF was where I became awed by the options.  9 sections and 450 pages seems excessive — until one realizes the "wisdom of the ages" that it incorporates.

And I found the "applications that extend x2's functionality" to be very informative.  Kudos to the author!  (You?)

Hitting <Ctrl+D> twice will force the calculation when in roots Thanks for that, also. It is amazingly fast ... only a few seconds ... on a fairly populated drive.  But, oddly, I had to interject another command (I used Alt+D) before I could use a second time.  But it does work.  And there are time...

Thank you for those suggestions.   Calc Subfolder Size does take care of subfolders, just like it says.  But top-level folders still say <folder>.  Maybe I'll submit that as a suggested option for a future version. The Text Size Edit does take care of the main problem I had: Tool Bar Text Too Small ...

I've only recently become aware of xplorer2.  I'm am currently running Lite and find it to be nearly perfect for my uses except for these two shortfalls: Can the icons and icon labels across the Tool Bar be made larger?  ( without making all icons in Windows larger.  I already know that method and r...
