This is a very simple .exe (no need to install) that will let you have multiple panes of windows explorer locations in a single window.

Sri!

I can't believe that nobody has replied to your post.  That second application is a dream come true. :Thmbsup:  I've been demanding Microsoft implement all of those functions for years. >:(

Thanx so much.

UltraExplorer is a mess! Nice features, butj ust a bunch of modules slapped together. So much junk code, so much wasted resources.

This would be awesome if it was all one proprietary application. I'm partial to tightly coded software. I'm not a big fan of "lego" built software.
I`m a firm believer in the philosophy of a ruling class, especially since I rule.

I like the ultraexplorer. It is really feature rich and has almost every feature that i wanted in a explorer. It quick too.

Features I liked are ...

Tabs (ofcourse)
Filter (quick and customizable)
Favorites
Breadcrumb Bar
Viewer

Yeah, it kinda blows you away with the refreshingly different idea - much like the split pane of jEdit. You sit wondering - "Now, how the heck did I miss something so obvious all this time !! "
Then you start thinking - "ok, let's look at all the gui's I've seen and throw away all the "standard" features and think as if I'm a user new to computers - what would I like to have?"
Nice. Really nice. although it doesn't allow you to do much, the life it infuses int your thinking about GUI is tremendous.
