CubicExplorer is a customizable Explorer replacement that supports bookmarks, themes, and multiple tabs. "Sessions" can be set with various customizations set to a particular setting (e.g. a picture folder set to thumbnails, a logs folder set to "details" and a program folder with desktop-like icons), and multiple sessions can be set for different folder sets based on tasks such as work, home, play, etc.
Unlike similar programs, CubicExplorer is built for ease-of-use and ability to adapt to your environment rather than a broad feature set, but includes some advanced features such as filtering, file preview, search, a built-in text editor with syntax highlighting support, and more. Multiple instances of the program can be run simultaneously.
Note: main site offline; linking to archive.org. Alternatively, CubicExplorer Portable adjusts paths in settings, bookmarks and sessions.

Portable version on authors site does not write to the registry at all-I like the stack feature as I can drag files there and then drag them to a folder on my external drive,a little buggy but very useful-could not live without it!

Outstanding file manager for when you constantly work with a set list of folders. The tabbed interface, bookmarks, and ability to save sessions makes navigating folders easy and simple. I would have great difficulty on Vista/Win7 without it.

I've come to really love the interface, bookmarks, and tabs, but the PA version had some serious instability problems on Win7x64. Will try the natively portable version.

@Nh: You need to specify in "settings.path" the location where Cubic Explorer will store the configuration files. The default value is %APPDATA%\CubicExplorer\, so you have to modify it to make the app portable.
I take this opportunity to ask webfork to correct the entry.

V0.95 writes settings to C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\CubicExplorer.
The previous stable version - V0.94 - is clear.

This works very well. Smooth operation and it has a good set of features. Loads 100s of graphic files in thumbnail view from multiple folders quickly compared to other apps of this type. Handy for comparing files in different folders.

Excellent file manager. My fave of the lot.
Has anyone figured out how to bookmark the Desktop?
V0.94
Very nice file manager. Really nice interface. A little buggy at times, but overall very good. I like the fact you can build your own tree via categories in the left menu, rather than the default c drive tree view others have. Means I can have only relevant folders showing.
