Any good free third party explorer.exe replacement?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi.

 

In the past, Windows had third party replacements like LiteStep. Are

there any good ones to try for XP Pro. SP3 without any incompatibility

problems.

 

Thank you in advance.

Thanks. Interesting, no LiteStep? Wow. I remember that was big and popular.

 

So do these alternatives totally replace Explorer, Start Menu, etc.? Or

only Explorer as a file manager replacement. It seems only does file

manager replacement. I was referring to the whole explorer.exe usage in

Windows including Start Menu and whatever else.

I forgot to mention that it should also replace Start Menu that explorer

uses too.

Nope. You didn't say that. ;-)

 

If you're using it to initiate an application, what I do is just click on

the data file and both open ready to use.
