    Duration of ownership: 10 Years

    Strengths: For years I was a big fan of earlier versions, and considered this the most valuable utility ever devised, with excellent multiple pane drag & drop copying or moving, a wonderful file viewer, and extensive customization options. The "trial" version is useful, but lacks many of the most important features such as the viewer.

    Weaknesses: Under XP, looking in a directory with large files (maps or photos) slows the program to a crawl. Your computer is effectively locked up for several minutes while it finds the files one at a time at a snail's pace. This is completely unacceptable, and causes lots of crashes under XP. I no longer recommend this program.

    Overall Evaluation: I have owned two paid versions (which were great under Win95/98/ME, but not very compatible with XT. I have a downloaded trial version, which is hobbled and will trash all your customizations if you have the older paid version. This is totally incompetent. You will have a miserable time trying to go back to earlier settings (no uninstall / go back option). This is unacceptable. This program has been sold twice and the new owners do not seem to know how to keep it current and compatible. Consider FreeCommander as an excellent free alternative.

    Duration of ownership: 8 Years

    Strengths: Indespensible file manager, viewer, sync tool-file finder. If I only had one utility program, this would be the one. Multiple panes very very good for drag and drop, sync, etc..

    Weaknesses: Would like to see a "showall" files in a folder and sub-folder like the old Xtree Program. Sync program sometimes jumps folders between setup and run; wold like to have cad dwg, dwf file viewer.

    Overall Evaluation: Excellent piece of software that has been continuously updated with new features. The interface is a bit dated but still fully functional.

    Duration of ownership: 5 Years

    Strengths: Lots of different file actions, numerous other features, dual pane view, lots of customization abilities.

    Weaknesses: None for me.

    Overall Evaluation: This one of my "I can't do without" utilities. It's more than just a file manager. It has a customizable launch bar, a Sync function, file finder, file viewer, picture converter, FTP pgm, .. to name just a few. I've had it at least 5 years and still find another use that I never realized, now and then.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    Strengths: gives more options with file control

    Weaknesses: Replaces ALL functions such as control pannel, networks, ect. not much different from vista windows explorer and wont even let you see your pictures on thumbtails. came with no uninstall feature, was a hastle to get this thing off my computer! free versions have adds on them, which this download is!

    Overall Evaluation: dont recomend product AT ALL! not much diff from the windows explorer and it replaces all you control pannel functions, dont see any good uses for it if you have vista or xp stay with it.
