I have some suggestions to make 2explorer better.
-Folder size reports (see Bulletproof Foldersizes for a decent example of implementation).
-Tabs for window panes for filtering huge directories of files (i.e. show all files that start with A, or more advanced A through <insert letter here>). (closest thing I can think being a VB newb is those tab controls).
-Being able to delete a root folder while you are viewing its contents (currently you get an error message - no crash).
Suggestions - UI, size of folders, etc

i think what xts3 means is that "bulletproof foldersizes" is a decent example of the implementation of folder size reports.
"Where ???" - well a quick search on google for "bulletproof foldersizes" reveals that this is software that delivers folder size reports, and can be found at http://www.foldersizes.com/
"What are you trying to do ??" - i think maybe xts3 is looking for a way to analyse the sizes of his folders in a convenient way. he hints at this when talking of "folder size reports" where presumably he receives a report on the sizes of his folders.
this is indeed a desirable feature in a file manager, i presume that is why it has been incorporated into x2 under the "Tools" menu as "Subfolder size"
i assume xts3 does know what he is doing when he tries to delete a folder whilst viewing it, since this is basic functionality present in windows explorer, although i doubt he is doing it for fun. he seems to have found that unfortunately 2xexplorer cannot do this, but luckily its replacement xplorer2 can!
