Thanks. I've been keeping an eye on this and I would not mind if there was a newer version.

This nightly build has quite a few bugs that need addressing.
The most annoying of which is the mislabelling of the tooltips on the toolbar icons. Something that was address in the stable release but probably overlooked in the nightly release.

Thanks Tallguy.

It's a shame ,
i see a lot of great projects that stall at a certain point and you never see any further improvments.

"Real life" taking over seems to be the most common reason.
It obviously takes a lot of time and hard work to do something like this ,especially if there's no finanicial reward.

Anyway, it's a great alternitive as it is.

Well, it's something like that ;) I do have times where I just need a break, and I get a lot of satisfaction and enjoyment from pursuing other interests.

I am happy to hear that you and tallguy find the program useful.

No worries ;)

Life really is too short :)

I'll always keep an eye on this forum ,to see if a new version might pop up in the future.

Thanks again, for a job well done.

Signed up on the forums just to say a BIG THANK YOU to the this wonderful program. I know it does crash sometimes but that is nothing as compared to all the features that come with it. I don't know what people complain about but for me it delivers everything what I ever imagined in an Explorer. And don't forget, it is absolutely FREE.

On my XP machine, I had to tweak my registry to add some toolbar buttons to the Window Explorer. With Explorer++, I don't have to do that any more. I am now using on my XP machine as well.

Once again, thanks a lot. I will keep an eye on any newer version that might pop up.

I didn't try it in xp ,didn't realise you could use it.

I only use win 7 when i 'm forced to, by some game or program.

Though the actual winxp explorer is a big reason why i still use winxp.
I'll have to see what explorer ++ is like from within winxp.

I detest that Win7 explorer...the straw that finally broke the camel's back was when--for the THIRD time--it changed my focus to the left pane without my requesting it, so that I inadvertently deleted an entire folder, rather than the selection of files I had intended. :evil:
