I bought Xtree because I saw it cheap at my local discount store.  It's an
Okay product.  A lot better than File Manager, but somewhat lacking:

-- JOIN a second harddrive onto a directory of the first harddrive, and the
   second drive disappears from Xtree, but the directory remains empty.
-- Latest Zip file format not supported.
-- It takes at least three mouse clicks to remove a file.  Defaults for
   verification are wrong and can not be reconfigured.
-- There is no PRINT function.  What happened here?  Xtree asleep at the
   wheel?
-- Limited drag and drop, i.e. in File Manager you can take a file name
   and drop it onto a notepad icon.  Same for other apps, you can drag
   an Excel spreadsheet onto an Excel icon.  Xtree cannot do any of this.
-- Xtree cannot edit a file.

My advice: wait for Xtree's next release.
