XPlorer: Today's Free File

by Marc Perton (RSS feed) Oct 24th 2005 at 2:37PM

There are a lot of file managers for Windows, some of which offer real improvements over Windows Explorer. One real improvement is tabbed windows, something many of us have grown accustomed to via tabbed web browsers. XPlorer, today's free file, is a tabbed file manager that includes an image viewer, file editor, filtering functions, and is still small enough to fit on a USB flash drive. Definitely worth a download, even if you don't make it your default shell (it is, after all, still in alpha).

"Blazing fast program execution" - I found it to be rather slow loading and extremely slow working in folders with a large amount of files.

Looking forward to a finished version of XPlorer.

I tried this program; it is very buggy! It throws error messages at the drop of a hat, and scrolling or updating results in distorted window contents. xplorer2 seems considerably better.

Level Up! A platform-hopping RPG Time-Waster

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before. Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
