xplorer˛ lite is a tabbed, dual-pane file manager with tons of features. Includes folder size view, window layout management, item filtering, folder comparison/synchronization, batch renaming, and file split, merge, and shred. Search function includes ability to look for text inside files, and text and script editors, as well as HTML, multimedia, and image file preview.
xplorer˛ lite edition portable is a portable wrapper for xplorer˛ lite that writes settings to the application folder instead of the registry. Note that the commercial xplorer˛ version lists an available portable version.

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.

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.

Nice. Only issue for me is minor: I can't get it started maximized.

Quick nice and quick. So far it works when I want 2 panes as Ultra Explorer is getting laggy.

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.

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.

Today, Q-Dir is indeed the best File Manager

actually, they're still offering the lite version, and the latest version is 1.8.1.4 but it's not that easy to find. you have to go to "downloads" and then select "download mirrors" to the left.
V1.7.0.5

HOW TO UPDATE THIS TO V1.8.1.4:
===============================
1. Download Portable Launcher. http://usb.smithtech.us/apps/downloads/xplorer2.lite.portable.exe
2. Download Xplorer2 1.8.1.4 LITE: http://zabkat.com/xplorer2_liteTB_setup.exe
3. Install v1.8.1.4, select your language, uncheck all options, becareful to not install the toolbar.
4. Choose location, install.
5. Copy & save installed files except "uninstall.exe".
6. Uninstall Xplorer2, remove left over key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZabaraKatranemia Plc]
7. Extract Portable Launcher.
8. Delete all files in App > xplorer2_lite.
9. Paste files from Xplorer2 v1.8.1.4 in it's place.
Note:
The reason you want to use the launcher is it makes Xplorer2 stealth. If you use the official version, it adds 1 key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZabaraKatranemia Plc
V1.7.0.5

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.
