XYplorer is a nice alternative to Microsoft’s default file manager, Windows Explorer. You can use XYplorer to efficiently manage all the files stored on your Windows-powered PC.
XYplorerFree is a nice alternative to the aforementioned XYplorer. This is a free but feature-limited version of XYplorer.

XYplorer and XYplorerFree work with lots of Windows editions: Windows 8.1, 8, Server 2012, 7, Server 2008, Vista, XP, Server 2003, 2000, NT, Me, 98; 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
Both are available as an installer (download an installer, run it, follow a setup wizard’s instructions) and as a portable version (a ZIP or RAR archive that contains all you need to run the application).

By default, the tabbed interface uses a dual pane and a details view. This can be changed. You can disable the dual pane view, you can switch between horizontal and vertical dual panes, you can switch from details to thumbnails view, you can change the colors the application uses, and more. The bottom line is that you can set things up so the interface perfectly meets your needs and tastes.

To sum it up, you are provided with lots of functionality that will help you efficiently manage your files.
