    Do you mind expanding a little on Directory Opus ? I always have four or five explorer windows open and I am constantly annoyed with the clunkiness of Windows explorer. I know there are a few alternatives but not sure how they compare.

        Thanks a lot for elaborating. I installed Free Commander in the meantime, see if it’s enough for my use.

            Yeah, I dont think there’s a dual tree in Free Commander… It’s just the one tree for both panes. But there’s a favourite list and that should cover most of my needs. Let’s see. Cheers !
