PowerDesk as an Explorer Replacement
The core of the file manager suite is the PowerDesk File Manager, which provides an interface similar to Explorer but with a variety of features and enhancements that you won't find in Explorer. Augmenting PowerDesk are several supporting tools that add even more functionality to the 'Explorer-killer'.
PowerDesk File Manager features include customizable toolbars, dual pane options that allow you to display two directory listings side-by-side vertically or horizontally, a customizable launchbar that you can use to quickly launch your favorite applications with one click, a 'one level up' icon within the directory structure that allows you to quickly move up one directory level, file filtering capabilities for displaying only files of a certain type, file encryption/decryption options (use of the advanced DES encryption technology is restricted to U.S./Canada use), the ability to change the display font type and size, and folder comparison capabilities.
