Xplorer2 is meant for the users who want to be more productive and to manage their files more efficiently. So if you fall into this category, you’re very well advised to give Xplorer2 a try.

The first step is to download a 1.6MB installation file on your computer. The following step is to run that file and follow the instructions presented by the setup wizard. You will get to choose the installation directory, choose if you want a desktop shortcut, pick one of the many supported languages, and select if you want Xplorer2 to replace Windows Explorer. Once the installation process completes, your browser will launch and you will be directed to a Welcome Page.

As is the case with many other file managers, Xplorer2’s interface is dual pane. By default, the panes are arranged one on top of another; you can change the way they are arranged and set them to be next to one another by going to the View menu and selecting the Tile Horizontally Option. If you’re not a fan of the dual pane look, uncheck the Dual Pane option from the same View menu.
