Regardless the level or age of your Microsoft Windows configuration, the one built piece of functionality that can always stand a helping hand is the Windows File Explorer.
Nomad.NET is a free Windows Explorer replacement with plenty of useful features.
Features include -
- Tabbed interface. This is our favorite feature, you can open tabs, like a browser for directories with which you’re working and keep them open.
- Bookmarks system. You can bookmark you favorite folders, ftp sites or even searches.
- You can create very complex search rules, with ability to search in different encoding (complete encodings auto detect), use IFilter filters, apply custom text search rules (including regular expressions), search in hex, duplicates search and so on and for mortals there is a simplified search that is not scary.
- Filtering system, based on the same core as search.
Normally we recommend FreeCommander as our favorite free alternative file handler, but Nomad.NET is a worthy competitor and well worth a try.
