Alternatives to Windows Explorer on Windows 7?

[Turkish]

Can anyone recommend an alternative to Windows Explorer on Windows 7? I want something that shows me the folder size in details view. Thanks.

it takes awhile to calculate folder size. do you really wanna wait while it does that?

Well, if you are not afraid of seeing file management details in a DOS text format, take a look at ZTreeWin. It is the Windows version of XTree which I grew up with. It works in XP, Vista, and Win 7, and is the most powerful file manager I know of. Well worth $29.95.

BTW - it reads folder sizes (directories) instantly - no calculation needed.

There are quite a few that are better than explorer, I really don't see how people continue to use it, its functions are cumbersome when working with lots of files.

Total commander is probably the most well known, click a folder and press space and it will display size or you can download one of the plugins that do it for you.

Directory Opus is another one, it has a feature that will display a bar graph for each folder to show size .

I like opus the best but it isn't cheap at $65. It does let you do just about anything with files and other things like ftp, network, etc.
