Enhancement for Windows Explorer


Let's face it, Windows Explorer is crap given the complexity of the OS. 
The best you can get is a two-panel window to navigate and manipulate 
files. For most people, this is fine which I guess why Microsoft has it 
this way, but for a geek like myself who manipulates a lot of files in 
Windows, it's a real hassle.
Fortunately there are add-on utilities out there that enhance the 
default anemic Windows Explorer. I use this free one on both my XP and 
Vista systems. There are two versions of this utility: free and paid. 
For my work, the free version is fine.
The free version gives me 3 columns. I assume the paid Pro version gives 
me unlimited columns. Given that almost all computer monitors these days 
are wide screen, there is enough space to display 3 or more columns.
