XYplorerFree
2007 was a very good year for XYplorer. More popularity, more sales, and the cause of the former: A lot of great improvements. So I thought: Why not give away one of the earlier versions for free? Scanning through the change log I found a natural candidate, ver 5.50.0001, released 17-Dec-2006, the last version before the introduction of the new license key. So I took the original v5.50 code, polished it somewhat, raised the version number to 5.55, recompiled it, wrapped it all up in a no-install-package including a help file, and called it XYplorerFree.
Yes, that's right: XYplorer ver 5.55 is now available for free! Free as in: Fully functional. No nagging. No limitations. You may even use it commercially!
What's the catch? No email support or updates. Compare the features and decide whether you want the free thing or the real thing. You choose...

Want the Real Thing?
The XYplorer Freeware Edition offers a lot of bang. But, of course, I would not give it away like that if the paid XYplorer wouldn't be far superior.
Just take the two biggies of this year's (2007) development, "Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts" and "User-Defined Commands", which provide an incredible boost in file management efficiency. These features alone will save you countless hours, stress, and $$$. And there's a lot of goodies in the making...
Download XYplorer and try it 30 days for free! You might get used to the difference.
