Windows Software for Power Users

I am not affiliated with any of these developers and I make zero commission.

I'm simply a fan of these software packages, and enjoy enlightening others.

* Blazing fast, highly flexible and always working searches

Searches can be incredibly complex: https://i.imgur.com/iOGU4m7.png and can be saved for future use. Search results can also be saved. Multiple folders can be searched simultaneously. Queries can contain attributes, owner, contents, and much more. This is FAR beyond Windows search.

* Two pane view

Each pane can be highly customized. In two-pane mode, the active pane is the source and the inactive pane is the destination. Enable Checkbox Mode and checkmark any number of files, double-clicking some in the process to view them, while retaining the checkmarks. Click the Move button to move all checkmarked files to the destination. You thought Windows 7 checkboxes were awesome when they were introduced? They pale in comparison to this method. Also, Checkbox Mode can be enabled and disabled, just like every other function, with one command - one button or one keystroke.


* SO many columns you can select for virtually any details you might want to see in a file list
