Other useful tools include a batch rename function (with preview), the ability to calculate folder sizes, a Panes menu that makes it easy to transfer files from one pane to the other, directory print option, duplicate file finder, customisable interface, info panel, quick file compare tool and more powerful search tools. One handy new feature even allows you to colour-code your tabs for even easier identification.

The program goes further too, incorporating functionality such as breadcrumbs, thumbnails, visible sort headers and more – some of these features have made their way into the improved File Explorer found in Windows 8.1, but not all. Suddenly copying or moving files between far-flung locations becomes a whole lot simpler, and thanks to the fact XYplorer remembers your previous settings, you can set up tabs to your most oft-accessed folders for one-click access. XYplorer Free goes even further, revealing a dual-paned window (with file tree to the left) with both panes supporting multiple tabs. More recently, inspired by the success of multi-tabbed web browsers, tools have cropped up offering to split multiple windows over a series of tabs, letting you quickly switch between them.

These traditionally fall into one of two categories: the first is a single multi-paned window allowing you to access two or more different folders or drives at the same time. Despite the myriad of changes to its flagship operating system, Microsoft has never strayed from its one window, one file path approach to Windows Explorer, which is why a rich vein of Explorer-replacement tools have cropped up. Anyone who's needed access to more than one folder knows how annoying it is opening multiple folder windows all over your desktop.
