Improve your file management: Everybody here at What's Up has expressed frustration at times with the clumsiness and clunkiness of Windows Explorer. If you share that frustration, you might like to try a freeware program that has made all of us much happier. It is called xplorer2, and works much like Windows Explorer, only better.(You will still have Windows Explorer there to fall back on, if you must.)You can, for example, see two directories worth of files at a time, and drag and drop between them: much more efficient for transfering files to a removeable disk, say. There is a pay version of the program, but the free one seems fine and appeals more to the Scottish historians among us. The legal affairs department here at What's Up reminds us to remind you that we accept no responsibility for anything that happens on your computer. But we have used this program long enough to like and trust it. If you are interested in learning more, click here.
