Windows 10: How to REPLACE Win 10 File Explorer

I disagree, and that is my point - others will as well. It is not what you think, but what others think that is important!

 

You're right, I think I am perfect but my wife sometimes sees it differently. I know there's one or two people in my small town that don't like to run into me but hopefully I can handle it with aplomb.

 

Sorry, but answering this one would REALLY end up in the rant category which according to someone above was not taken kindly to. And it would mean skating dangerously close to the limits of the politeness line, towards the designers of said contraption, no impoliteness towards forum members suggested or implied.

 

@Edwin was asking a rhetorical question!

 

This question is completely reasonable. The point is to find out, what you find wrong about it, so a proper advise can be suggested. If you are bothered with telemetry, that can be blocked with a firewall/HOSTS. If you want tabs, there is Clover 3 and Tab Explorer. If you do not like GUI, 3rd party software is the only option.

 

For what it's worth...

I pin everything I frequently access to 'Quick Access',
I use 'Old/New Explorer/Ribbon Disabler',

I also use "QTTabBar", which not only gives you tabbed Explorer, but jump lists and mouse hover previews on just about everything plus a host of other features!

(I also run Stardock 'Windows Blinds' and 'Icon Packager')

Explorer looks, functions and performs quite well. Does everything I desire of it! (Unless I've got a buggy Insider Build!!!) *Wink

 

The IP/Insider Preview part makes a big difference, one can expect "bugs" or things that don't work right especially when third-party programs are involved. After all, it is still a Test/BETA version, at least for a few weeks longer. I have 2 older computers running IP and because of the type of clients I have am not into working with third-party utilities unless and until I'm asked to do so.

 

Right you are!
I'm surprised I'm getting the functionality that I am! *Smile
