Free file browser Q-Dir makes for a good USB drive app or installed replacement for Windows Explorer for those who do a serious amount of file swapping, or just like to be able to keep multiple folder views open at once.

The app—which installs by default, but can run by itself after renaming it “Q-Dir.exe”—offers a customizable number of panes, though the default four-square is a pretty good starting point. You can save any view you like to a favorite button, along with adding shortcuts to frequently-accessed folders. There’s also a quick-filter box in the lower-right for easy sorting and finding, and if you use Q-Dir regularly, you’ll be glad it keeps your right-click shell extensions and offers its own “*Q-Dir” launch option on right-clicking a folder.

Q-Dir is a free download for Windows systems only. I found some other tools like, Xplorer2, FreeCommander, XYPlorer, Directory Opus doesn’t provide the same right click menu as I would seen in Windows File Explorer, the above screenshot shows Q-Dir works exactly the same as in Windows Explorer but with much more powerful features! There is another tool called Windows Double Explorer (portable) is also good, but I still rate Q-Dir as the best.
