"What is that tool?"

Software

December 10, 2007

Since Windows Explorer on my Dell XPS (which is my personal laptop I use for presentations and demo's) started acting funny, I searched for a replacement because I didn't feel like formatting and starting all over.

I came across Directory Opus 9. Since installing it, and using it instead of Explorer itself, I've had numerous people asking me what "that tool" is when I used it on presentations.
Why? Because it looks so damn handy that is! Split view, horizontal and vertical, FTP, Commander look... you name it, it's in there.
You can even make it the default (replacing Explorer entirely) and it doesn't slow down your PC at all.

It costs about €50 and here you can download a trial. My current version is still 9.0, but I'm hoping to upgrade as soon as possible to 9.1 which was released last week.
