"If you upgrade to a new version of Xplorer2 Lite, then you will need to do the registry tweak again"

Thanks George, been following you in Google.

Like yourself, have tried a lot of managers ( just counted them, 57 so far )

Installed Xplorer2 Lite again, did your tweak, no problems, using XP pro.

I had previously been running multi Windows Explorer in minimized form, was'nt unhappy doing it that way.

Used this little beauty ( Still do ) from my Quick Launch bar.
XP Search replacement > Find.zip
http://www.shellfront.org/utils/
So now I have quick access to 2 search/find programs.

Thanks John. Your explanation of the previous post makes sense. I figured out the registry tweak I described in my posting by experimenting and reading the manual. Anyone that follows my directions shouldn't have any problem. If you upgrade to a new version of Xplorer2 Lite, then you will need to do the registry tweak again.

George, I think what he is saying is > Great app, until I installed this, I could'nt see what was clogging up my system & he maybe able to find some spyware.

You need to provide more information. I don't see how you could have xplorer2.exe running without having installed it. I can say I run regular spyware scans on my system and have never detected spyware during installation of updates to xplorer2 lite.

Doug,

One simple thing you can do is to right click on any folder (whether you have xplorer2 open or not) and then select "open with xplorer2". The folder will then open with xplorer2.

If you want to go beyond that, I'll have to refer you to the "xplorer2 complete user manual" that can be downloaded on the following web page:

http://zabkat.com/alldown.htm

The section that I think you want is called "Tweaking the Registry" on Page 277. I believe section "A" is what you want. I haven't tried the the changes to the registry that they discuss. Be careful what you do to the registry! It is possible to completely mess up your whole computer if you are not careful.

Hi George, Thanks for your tips

Is there a way to get xplorer2 to launch when I click on a drive letter?

BTW I'm using xplorer2 - superfinder - copernic. I was happily using the Windows Desktop Search beta until I joined my machine to a new domain and it stopped working. I can't uninstall or reinstall due to denied access to registry entries. There's a cure but it involves such a laborious process that I moved over to the above trio.

2006-06-14T21:07:00.000-05:00

I checked the forum that is linked to the xplorer2 web site. From what I read, the error still occurs. You might want to try TugZip (http://www.tugzip.com/). The interface is like IZArc and I think TugZip is as good as or better than IZArc. If you are dead set on using IZArc, the error only occurs when you close xplorer2 lite after you right click on a file to access functions from other programs like an anti-virus scan. The error is not very serious. When you encounter it, you can just click on cancel and go on about your business without doing any damage to anything.

File Management -- Xplorer2 Lite (version 1.4.0.1)

When I closed Xplorer2 Lite, I would get an error that said, “the instruction at "0xXXXXXXXX" referenced memory at "0xXXXXXXXX”... I fixed the problem by uninstalling IZArc and deleting the IZArc subfolder from my program files folder that contained the dll [called "IZArcCM.dll"]...

Does this mean that it was impossible to use IZarc with Xplorer2 Lite in 2004 - and is that still true today?

To echo the sentiments of others, this is a great site you have here. I've been wanting to learn how to use xplorer2 more effectively and you've really helped me out. One thing about using superfinder. The latest installer puts it in the FSL startup folder so unless you change it to match yours the string should now read C:\Program Files\FSL\SuperFinder\SuperFinder.exe

2006-04-16T15:30:00.000-05:00

I assume that you would like to open a folder in Xplorer2 Lite and have Super Finder search the contents of the folder. I don't know of a direct way of doing that. However, Xplorer2 Lite displays the path of the current folder near the top of the screen. All you have to do is highlight the path, hold your "Ctrl" key and type the letter "C" to copy. Then you can open Super Finder, highlight the current path shown and hold down your "Ctrl" key and type the letter "V" to paste the path in Super Finder. That's not too hard is it?

2006-03-10T22:27:00.000-06:00

I still use Xplorer2 lite, Copernic and Superfinder. Copernic does not search system files. Be advised that Copernic indexes the text files on your C drive. Some folks I know don't like that. possibly because they have low end machines. I have found it is fairly resource intensive until it indexes your c drive. After that I don't notice it is running.

I like your site. I've been thinking about writing some reviews of several programs you include.

2006-03-10T09:54:00.000-06:00

Great site you've got here. I particularly like this xplorer2 lite/copernic/superfinder combo! Do you still use this? Does copernic still not search system files? I'm using MSN Desktop, but may have to uninstall/reinstall to get it to stop coming up with WindowsSearch.exe errors when I shut down my computer; think I may just go with Copernic if you recommend it still.
