 Edbro: This is great. It writes to the registry on startup and then erases its own entries at program exit. Very neat idea that I wish other software could implement. [2007-06-03 06:22]

 a: eeek. the free 'light' version is too disabled, why tease us with useless menus. i'd say it's more like nagware then freeware. ultraexplorer is actually portable and totally free. [2007-06-03 17:09]

 The_R: anyone knows if there's a tut on how to create something like this on the pro install?

thanks. again, nice job on this one, works perfectly. [2007-06-03 17:15]

follow the "make your own" link
but it could be challenging for some folks
(like myself)
good luck [2007-06-03 17:46]

 Dan: In order to configure this to use a portable text editor with the F4 hotkey, you must check "Don't lock browsed folders" on the Advanced tab in the options, and then type a relative path in the "External Editor" box. This does, however, cause the DOS console to lose synchronization with the current folder.

The problem lies in how it tries to call the editor from the currently open directory. This works fine if you're working with files on your jumpdrive, but will break if you go to a different drive letter.

Also, it will erase the settings for xplorer2 installs on the machine. be aware that you'll have a bit of tweaking to do to your settings when swapping from an installed version to the portable. [2007-06-15 17:15]

 J44xm: Nice. Only issue for me is minor: I can't get it started maximized. [2007-07-05 01:13]

 Rodders: Quick nice and quick. So far it works when I want 2 panes as Ultra Explorer is getting laggy. [2007-10-02 19:38]

 Nerd: J44xm - Just make a batch file that has something like "start /MAX xplorer2.exe" and it should start maximized. This method works with almost any program. [2008-11-23 19:10]

 Nerd: I personally recommend Cubic Explorer, as it is tabbed and customizable. It also has a nice drop stack feature. It is also VERY fast, usually it is faster than windows explorer. [2008-11-23 19:12]

 Basbarian: This rules! I'm a long term fan. I'll check out cubic explorer as i'm always lookin for nice stuff. [2008-12-02 06:32]

For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
