I’m pretty happy with windows file explorer, I just wish there were a favorites bar just folders. I don’t want internet shortcuts. It would be nice if you could drag files to these folder favorites too. Maybe adding a tab interface would do it too. I’ve tried severla of the apps mentioned in these articles and I always end up back with regular old file explorer. Anyone know of such a plugin? I did see something close on lifehacker which added a path bar in xp that I guess vista has.
Informative podcast- thanks!
Just a note that muCommander is a Java cross platform file manager. Unlike the other file managers mentioned, it should run on any OS with Java installed. On the downside, it is a bit slow to start up becasue it is a Java app. But it’s a great solution for those who hop from OS to OS.
