TauBetaPi Advanced Explorer - Free File Management Tool
This is a new file explorer with a couple of unique features, such as recycle bin and undo - and it's free. Has anyone tried it out?

Wow, this looks great! 8O I tried out Resco Explorer and loved it, but didn't want to shell out $15-20 for an app that SHOULD have been built into the OS. This program offers a lot of the same features and interface of Resco Explorer without the more advanced features that I wouldn't use anyways. I hope we see more quality freeware like this. Way to go AlphaBeta!

I installed it yesterday and I have only used it a few times, but so far it seems to work very well. I like the extra options.

Where did "Advanced Explorer" go?
I installed it tonight. I shows up as the third item down in my initial drop
down llist for START MENU. It doesn't show up as a "Program". It seems
to work as advertised.

Is it better than Total Commander?

Works well for me... I felt the same way about Resco: Not really needing an explorer-app so bad I could justify spending $15+ bucks, but this is a nice alternative.

The question should be "Is it better than PocketExplorer and ftpView?" Wish more people knew about these two freeware file explorers. Between them, they supply pretty much all that one needs on the Pocket PC. PocketExplorer is to be found at http://www.citadeldevelopment.com/, while ftpView is at http://www.pocketpcsoft.net/php/freeresults.php?type=i. The only other thing I use is Dexplor, for its cheap integrated zip/unzip support. Check them out and happy exploring!

Total Commander has Zip UnZip support, and it's free. It does have some limitations but give it a go.
I've given Advanced Explorer a try and it has a few interface pluses over Total Commander, and the file association manager is good too but for me the zip support in Total Commander means I'll keep that over AdvancedExplorer.
The only other feature I could find in AdvancedExplorer that isn't in Total Commander is the recycly bin.

Why am I having problems installing this? When I download the .exe file to my PC, it knows it's an exe, but it has the icon of a folder. Double-clicking does nothing...
It won't run natively on my PPC either.

Double clicking is the right way : the advexpr_setup.v1.0.exe file should run on your PC and launch installation
