I was hoping someone had already tried, but no one has posted anything.

I didn't find anything on the net, either.

I haven't done my research on the exact file name, as of yet, as this is
more a curiosity than anything else.


How about this one?

Already installed and running in Windows 8 about a week and a half ago.
In fact, I'll be using it tomorrow in a class on file management.

Like a lot of articles on the web, this one is not very good.
Assumptions made, missing information, etc.

But WinFile is perfect for my needs. LOL The XP Windows Explorer would
also work, just not quite as well. So would the Explorers from 95 and
98. XP is when the eye candy and fluff that's not needed for my
purposes begins to get added and is actually a negative for new/beginner
computer users.

Everyone seems to have forgotten there are always beginners in
computers. And, that's not a good thing. It's rather like expecting
that newborn baby to know algebra and geometry.
