xplorer² is a tabbed, dual-pane file manager with tons of features, including 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.
xplorer² lite portable is a portable wrapper by SmithTechSoftware that writes settings to the application folder instead of the registry. Site has gone offline, linking to archive.org.
Note: The latest version of xplorer² lite available from the program's site maybe still compatible with SmithTechSoftware's portable wrapper (see the official forum topic and comments below).

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
Today, Q-Dir is indeed the best File Manager
This rules! I'm a long term fan. I'll check out cubic explorer as i'm always lookin for nice stuff.
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.
