I tried Resco, which seems to be quite slow (and twice the price) compared to Advanced Explorer. When AE 2.0.0 was released it had a bug that caused it to crash when changing column views, they had a patch up in just days after it was discovered, so they do respond quickly with bug fixes. For 10 bucks and lifetime udates......you won't need another file explorer .

PocketExplorer from Citadel Development supports drag&drop. It's pretty nifty. And free, which is always nice.

I use Pocket Explorer, too. I mostly like it, although I may have found an odd bug. I have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on an SD card in my iPAQ 3870, and when I try to browse deep into the folder hierarchy (Storage Card\Adobe Acrobat Reader 1.0\Acrobat 1.0\Reader, for example), Pocket Explorer just disappears. It also does this if I just try to browse Storage Card\PublicPocketGames.com Reflect It.

The card is a SanDisk 256 MB SD card, but I just did a ScanDisk on it this past weekend. I can browse the folders just fine using either the built-in File Explorer, ActiveSync or Windows Explorer with the card in my Dazzle reader.

I'm not sure it's the memory card, either, because I copied the Reflect It folder to RAM and tried to browse that with the same results.

I just sent a note to Citadel's support about this.
