Two Explorer wanted

Hi all,

I used to have an app called Two Explorers.

It would open 2 Explorer frames side by side so you could easily compare, copy and move files and
folders in one go.

Does anyone know whether there is a VISTA compatible app doing Two Explorers (or more!) available
somewhere?

I Googled but failed to find one.

Looking forward,

Maria

Re: Two Explorer wanted

HI Peter,

thx for letting me know. Will check & test.

Have you used it yourself, under VISTA?

Curious,

Maria

Re: Two Explorer wanted

Peter -

Incredible -- it comes with a 325-page manual..!
For $ 25 including software.
Not even VISTA itself uses that much.
Will report back soon - waiting for my invisible defrag to end soon (?)

Re: Two Explorer wanted

Helo MPS,

Best way to experience this is to open two Explorer windows, CTRL+click each
in the taskbar, and then right-click one of the buttons and choose Show
Windows Side By Side (or Show Windows Stacked). Now you can drag and drop
files and folders to your heart's content, and while it's no File Manager,
it's not too shabby.

Good luck

I hope this post is helpful.

Let us know how it works ºut
