On another quest to find a replacement for the default Windows Explorer.

What I'm looking for would actually replace Windows Explorer, much like
Classic Shell replaces the Start Menu. Meaning, when I right click on
the Start Button, and select Explore, the replacement is used, not the
Explorer from MS.

Does anyone know of one?


I'm getting bleary-eyed from trying different file manager programs.

So far, none have met the desire to have it run instead of the MS
version when you go Startright clickExplore. That's a main wish at my
end, followed by the hierarchical structure lines.

I didn't see anyone mention it yet, but I assume you know that Windows
Explorer can display those lines that you're talking about. I like'em
too, so I have the lines enabled here.

NO!!! I did *NOT* know this!! I've been trying to find out how to do
it for years. Even asked in this newsgroup long, long ago. (But, not
in a galaxy far, far, away! LOL)

How did you enable the lines? Something along the lines of what
Mayayana suggested?

I'm using Classic Shell 4.3.0, in case the version matters.

1. In its settings, select the tab labeled Navigation Pane.

2. In the first section, Navigation Pane Style, hover your mouse over
the first item, Windows XP Classic.

3. The balloon tip should read "The navigation pane has lines connecting
the folders". (While you're there, hover over the other two options to
see what they offer.)

4. If that sounds interesting, select that option. Click OK.

5. Open a new instance of Windows Explorer and the various folders
should have vertical lines connecting them.

The current version of Classic Shell is 4.3.1, and that's what I installed.

It took actually reading the help file and some Googling to figure out
where you were trying to send me, but I got it!

I have been wanting that for years!!!

Thanks a bunch.

Excellent!
