Browse folders everywhere windows explorer can access including network, zip folders, web folders, libraries, FTP, digital cameras, mobile phones, etc. Too many documents in a folder? Show only those relevant to your work with a variety of simple wildcards and file property-based filters. Xplorer2 Ultimate desktop search engine is unrivaled in power, speed, and flexibility. If you can think of the attributes xplorer² will find your files and highlight the search keywords.
Transfer and delete files using filters and overwrite control, even in deep paths. Create links, junctions, add comments/tags, touch dates, split/join, mass rename, shred. Combine dual-panes with folder tabs and all the usual view modes (thumbnails, details, folder tree, etc). Quick preview of text, office, PDF, pictures, audio, and video files. An internal text editor.
All your namespace extensions, column handlers, thumbnails, virtual folders, icon overlays, info tip popups, WLX/WDX/WCX plugins will work as in windows explorer. Browse fast with bookmarks, breadcrumbs, history, and autocompletion. Save tons of time with small innovative details (e.g mirror browsing). Execute user commands and scripts on selected files and folders. Improved DOS console.
Whereas many people will get by using Xplorer2 Ultimate professional, the ultimate edition is the best Xplorer 2 money can buy. Here are the main advantages:
- Portability. You can keep your xplorer² ultimate in a USB stick and have it save the settings in a portable file, without touching the windows registry.
- No installation required. The ultimate version can either be copied to any folder or be run from any removable media.
- Optimized performance. The ultimate version has the edge on xplorer² pro, especially for large scale file operations. It also offers fast search.
- The normal installer included. Unlike the old portable edition, you can install the ultimate xplorer² on your own PC as well as keep it in a USB stick.
- Priority customer support. Get your problems fixed on the fast track.
- You work a lot on other people's computers and you want to keep your tools in a USB stick.
- You want to use xplorer² at work but you don't have enough rights to install programs.
- You are a sysadmin or large network administrator and need a version that is easy to deploy and license, and need the priority support.

- Seamless handling of virtual folders (FTP/web folders/zip folders etc)
- Extended file/folder details (mp3 tags, checksum, etc)

What's new in this version:
- Media (audio/video) quick preview supports Play/Pause keyboard button
- GOTO > SAME STYLE menu copies the browsing style of the active onto the inactive (dual) pane, so that the 2 panes will look identical. Attributes include pane style (thumbnails, details...), file details (columns), sort order and any custom groups.
Mass rename improvements:
- When you click on PREVIEW button to see the planned filename changes, files that will remain the same (with the current rename settings) will show with a yellow background. That could be an alarm call prompting you to modify the rename template. Note that this is not an error per se, xplorer² doesn't have a problem leaving some (or all!) names unchanged.
- Any newline characters in names are removed (replaced by underscores as usual) — on top of other illegal characters like :|
- The mode REMOVE ACCENTS also removes some unicode diacritical marks (underlines and whatnot) that may come from downloaded files, which are hard to get rid of
- "hidden" menu command to create portable installation of ultimate edition. Once you install and activate xplorer² on your home PC, and apply your customizations (bookmarks etc), use HELP > COMMAND FINDER menu command and search for the special command 33553 and double click on it to execute. It will ask for a USB drive path and then create a X2PORTABLE subfolder that includes the program, license and your settings in an INI file.
- BOOKMARKS > DUAL submenu now asks you to save folder tabs as well (not just a pair of left/right folders). These "super" dual bookmarks will restore the entire workspace of browsed folders. You may find this handier than defining Layouts just for browsing certain folder sets in dual pane mode.
- The last (non-default) layout (see WINDOW menu) will be used when xplorer² restarts, even without /S: command line switch.
- TOOLS > BACKUP COPY menu gets a dialog. It still works the same, copying all files and folders from the active pane to the "backup destination" (inactive pane). The dialog allows you to specify an optional filter if you don't want all the files copied (similar to robust copy F5 command). The copy options used are fixed and include the all important "overwrite if newer else skip" (and IGNORE DST) option, that only copies new and changed files without asking.
Deep path improvements. If you are on windows 10/11 the shell context menu works when browsing folders with deep paths (very long names). There are a few gotchas to be aware of:
- Only one item may be selected when you right click
- Many menu commands still don't work e.g. SEND TO
- Also infotips should work for deep items. Finally, renaming works in transition folders, just before the onset of deep paths. So you can create deep folders easier!
- New toolbar button OPEN WITH offers easy access to "open with" applet available in the shell context menu. The command is the same only easier to use. Clicking on the button pops a menu with programs available to open the selected file (e.g. Notepad/Wordpad for TXT files). Pick CHOOSE ANOTHER APP command to find a new program, and optionally make it default for this file type.
- Note old installations must add this button to the toolbar through customization (right click on the toolbar and CUSTOMIZE menu). Press "O" key (for open) a few times till you find OPEN WITH in the available buttons list, then click ADD to insert it.
- TOOLS > EXTRACT GROUPS in a scrap window can optionally create a HARD LINK instead of copying the grouped files, if you tick the relevant dialog option. This is only supported when the target folder is on the same NTFS partition as the source files. For more information see the documentation.
- Smarter 48x48 toolbar skin for people with huge DPI monitors, in tune with the smaller skin sizes 16x16 etc
- HELP > COMMAND FINDER menu also accepts numeric command identifiers, and shows you the help text of the command. This may be used to decipher old automatically generated macro scripts that only show a cryptic command number. E.g. search for 33033 and see what happens
- TOOLS > FREE SPACE menu command will show free space of mobile phones as well, if you are currently browsing a phone folder. Also shown on the rightmost status bar pane.
- Mini-drivebar (the leftmost icon in a pane's titlebar) will show any connected phones in the menu, alongside the standard drive letters, so you can easily switch to your phone. This also works for DRIVE toolbar button and <ALT+F1> keyboard shortcut.
- When a pane is empty because some filter is hiding the folder contents, you can double click to show all files. Easier than VIEW > SHOW ALL menu command.
- Advanced registry option MGAO3_NOTASKBAR (=128) disables xplorer² (windows) taskbar button functionality, vis. there won't be a progress bar (when robust copying) and you won't see frequent folders ("tasks") when you right click on the taskbar button.
- Advanced registry option MGAO3_CASEREGEXP (=256) makes wildcard & mass rename regular expressions case sensitive. Note windows filenames are NOT case sensitive so enabling this option will catch fewer filenames; for exceptional use only!
- Advanced registry option MGAO3_ROOTDIRSIZE (=512) will calculate subfolder sizes everywhere, including roots & networks drives. Not recommended!
- TOOLS > FIND SIMILAR PHOTOS command (in scrap windows) will find less false positives if you specify a Similarity Threshold >=90% in the dialog. It uses a more stringent comparison method. For best results and more options, try i-DECLONE, which can also find similar music, videos and documents!
- TIME programmable function corresponds to the file time portion (without date). It is a float number in the form HH.MM that can be used to match files by time of day alone.
- Dropped pseudo-J (junction) attribute in cloud folders (OneDrive/DropBox), except for offline (pure cloud) files. Only applies for [S]tock attributes column.
