If you liked my previous post on 5 ways to pimp Windows Explorer, you’ll love this gorgeous piece of freeware.  DMEXbar is a plug-in for Windows Explorer which turns it from a clunky system to a real powerhouse. 

Once installed, your Windows explorer will have the ability to:

• Open two explorer windows aligned side by side
• Split and reassemble large files
• Create “Hot Paths”, which are like the “Favorites” in the Internet Explorer, for simple and fast change to these directories
• Fast copying and moving of files between two aligned explorer windows by shortcuts
• Synchronize files and directories between two aligned windows
• Open DOS shell windows or run any other user-specified programs using the current directory or selected files as parameters
• Calculate the total size or used disk space of directories including all subdirectories

…and so, so, so many other features for both power and novice users.

What I really like about DMEXbar is the fact that I don’t have to use an alternative explorer, but I can just use Windows explorer like I’ve always done, and take advantage of all the new functionality when as and when I need to, and yes – it’s free.  Works for Windows 2000/XP, no Vista support yet.

Two thumbs up!
