PDA & Drag and Drop to explorer

Hi,

I love XYPlorer and that's why I hate the lack of the following features. I work with my PDA *a lot*--constantly and have to use explorer a lot. Right now I cannot:
1. Access my PDA through XYPlorer
2. Drag and drop files from XYPlorer to explorer..thus I end up using explorer more and more each day.

I really just want to kick explorer to the curb and have one window open for file management always...

A nice to have feature would be able to do a simple/regex text search from the address bar..maybe it's there and I just haven't figured out how. Like doing a name search is:
path?part*
I'd like to be able to do
path*static public.*\(\)
and get a list of files containing the text.
I know I can do it from the find but this would just be a convenience thing.

Thank you :)

PDA: have it show up as a disk device. Is that posible?

RegExp: this works already. Use the > operator, e.g.:
Desktop?>.*(\.bmp|\.jpg)$
= Find all BMPs and JPGs in Desktop

PDA: unfortunately I can't have it show up as a disk device. It shows up as "My mobile device" similar to how "My Network" shows up.

This link look like it identifies the shell extension: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836152. Hopefully this will allow you to copy back and forth to the device without resorting to using RAPI

Find in address bar: I'm looking for a way to search for content not by part of the name.

It's not supported then. With a few exceptions (e.g. My Network Places) XYplorer does not support shell name space extensions.

Ah, yes, I did not read carefully enough. No, that's not possible.
