File management is the most frequently used operation in daily computer use, but the functions of Windows built-in File Manager have always been very limited. And, although Windows 7 introduced the concept of Library in order to better organize files scattered across the computer, that wasn't efficient enough. Therefore, many advanced computer users choose to use some third-party File Explorer alternatives, such as Total Commander, Explorer++, FreeCommander, xplorer², Q-Dir, Clover, and so on.

XYplorer (formerly known as Tracker, TrackerV3) is a classic multi-tab file system management tool similar to Windows Explorer, developed by Donald Lessau from Germany in 1999. It features powerful file search, universal file preview, highly customizable user interface, as well as a series of unique functions for performing periodic tasks automatically. These are enough to greatly simplify the file management process, improve our work efficiency, and thus become a necessary tool for users to manage files on a computer.

As one of the most popular file managers at present, and compared with the system's own file manager, XYplorer effectively manages files through dual panel and multi-tab ways, so that users can more easily complete computer operations such as file/folder switching, browsing, viewing, copying, deleting, and more. Besides, features such as tag/color filtering, highly customizable shortcut keys/toolbar, inbuilt file association system, high-speed file search engine, powerful real-time file preview, separate saving of tag configuration, and more, these make XYplorer an edge tool for file management.
