Tabs, bookmarks, and a customizable interface shape the way Explorer Plus Plus manages files on Windows. It also includes tools for searching, filtering, changing file attributes, and working with split or merged files.
Keep folders open in separate tabs
Open several locations in one Explorer Plus Plus window and switch between their tabs as you work. Clone a tab when you need another view of the same location, or bookmark one tab or the full set for later access.
The folder tree and file display provide familiar ways to navigate. Choose among icon, list, details, thumbnail, and tile views, then sort or group the contents. The display window can preview a selected file.
Search, filter, and organize files
Search by file name and attributes, or apply a filter to narrow the files shown in a folder. In details view, select columns and adjust their layout; Explorer Plus Plus can also save a column layout as the default.
