xplorer² (lite) is a file and information manager that adheres to the philosophy "efficiency through simplicity". Without reinventing the wheel, it integrates the best features of Windows' shell architecture in a small, resource efficient package that's instantly familiar to work with. But look a little closer and you'll discover a whole new world under the surface that offers power, precision and flexibility, and will boost your everyday productivity no end!

This lightweight version of xplorer² is not a crippled unusable salesman of the professional version. It shares the same browsing and management engine, and gives many rival professional file managers a run for their money - literally! It is a complete little file manager, albeit lacking a bit in bells and whistles. You will find the missing features in a table here. In summary it suffers a bit in terms of customization and it won't offer you the scrap containers - so you can't use the powerful search command. Other than that it is a flexible version of a more powerful commercial software. Technically speaking this free version is unsupported, but you can mail the author for help.

XYplorer needs GdiPlus.dll (GDI+) to be installed. GdiPlus.dll is installed with the .NET framework and included with Windows XP.

Simply install to a Windows PC then copy the installed folder to your portable drive. There are no registry entries or files other than those in the program folder.
