   This explorer is great and now supports 64bit windows.
   
   Great stuff is:
   selection rectangle (totalcmd does not have)
   filetype color sorting
   tabs with unique history states
   favorites
   intergration with explorer
   customizable shortcuts
   scripts

   Using this product for several years and it just keeps getting better. I wonder what some of the negative reviewers are complaining about. 64-bit is planned so no need to panic folks. In any case, there are easy ways get the context menu shown. Just install 32-bit app too.
   I paid for the pro license and I have got more than what i wanted. i use it on 5 of my PCs (yes, one license can be used on any number of PCs for the rest of your life) and because of its portability I carry it on my USB too. Its support for portable paths is a life saver. I have pre-configured catalog on my USB and I just plug into any PC I haven't installed and easily find those hard to find folders. Plus, I have several tasks at work automated which would otherwise take me few hours. One example is: Each day my equipment generates reports which I have to sort, rename and copy it across 2 other PCs. I have written a small code which does all this in just one-click.
   I see some reviews which are plain stupid or ignorant or maybe hate propaganda against XY. Like one guy (Hilbert) is talking about how backup is flawed. he definitely doesn't know what he's taliking about. I backup upto 4-5 GBs each day on 2 of my PCs at work and I have never had an issue for the past 5 years.
   I wonder if some of these reviewers are paid to write stupid reviews.
   In short, come and try XY (you have 30 days to fully test it). You'll enjoy it and it has saved me a lot of clicks. Its latest feature, branch view is a time save, especially when combined with visual filters. Highly recommend this to anyone who takes file management seriously.

   Better than most file explorers. Has a plethora of convenience and speed features. On the down side, it does not support 64 bit Windows, which totally cripples the right-click context menu. The icons are a bit ugly too, but opinions may vary. I think CubicExplorer is the best looking explorer, Q-Dir has the best 64 bit implementation, and both are free.

   Can not hold a candle to the FREE Free Commander file Manager.

   I have tried all of the major explorer replacements (including Directory Opus 10 Xyplorer^2, and Total Commander.
   
   This one beats them hands down in terms of features, portability, etc..
   
   There is nothing even close as of 8/1/11
   
   The ONLY downside (and thing that DOpus has over this program) is 64-bit support, which the author promises in 2012. It is not Don's (the author's) fault that this is not been done yet. The only downside to no-64-bit-support and not all win7 libraries is the fact that some right click extensions do not show up :(

   Several commenters miss the ability of XYplorer to "set itself up as default file manager."
   I should make clear that this is NOT a feature of the file manager but one of the operating system. Editing the registry is necessary to make XYplorer (or any other file manager) the default file manager. However, since XYplorer is a portable application that's promoted as "not changing the system or registry" it does not offer to make this registry edit for you.
   However, the necessary changes are fairly easy to do and you can find helpful information in various XYplorer online resources.
   
   UPDATE: FYI, since v8.90.0000 a simple checkbox in configuration makes XYplorer the default file manager.
