Anyway, is there some free 3rd party Explorer replacement ?

Any open source ones you like as well?


This has a clean interface (imo), loads really fast, and allows
multiple tabs - which can be very useful.

Agreed, it's clean, very fast (instant for me), and also is a single
executable that doesn't seem to require any installation. I see among
its options that you can select whether it replaces explorer or not;
can't quite see how that would work, unless you run it at startup, or it
actually deletes the default explorer which would be dangerous.


Agreed replacing explorer, I kept things simple and placed a
shortcut to it on the taskbar. I've been using it for a couple of months
and it's really nice having the multiple tabs. Middle-click on a folder
opens that folder in a new tab, fast and convenient.
