Hi !
Are there any good free alternatives to file explorer??
I know there is Resco File Explorer, but it's not a freeware.
WM File Explorer annoys me, I find it so limited most of the time.
Thanks
Free File Managers
GS Finder+
It does pretty much the same as Resco but its Free!

probably the best freeware out there.
yeah, used to resco but the sending big files via bluetooth to other devices always failed, usually after more than half of sending progress. I have no problem for the same file sending with total commander.
yeah I just installed Total Commander here.. looks like an excellent software. Thanks a lot.

Hi there
does someone know if there is a text editor for windows mobile like we know from windows (editor, wordpad)?
I searched in the apps threads but could not find anything. I don't like the put my device on the cradle everytime i have to change one letter in an xml file or something....
I personally use and love an app called Vieka WordPad. You can find this lovely freeware here...

I use the editor embedded in total commander. It is the best file manager I ahve found and it also include a simple but efficient editor. I would call it a 'must'.

Seems to be good one. Will like to have a trial on my 710
http://vieka.com/wordpad.htm
editor embedded in total commander is good enough for on device editing..
I've upgraded my SMT5600 from WinMo 2003 SE to 6.1. In 2003se, there was an HTC file explorer that was good. Since upgrading, I've tried Total Commander 2.0 and SmartExplorer 1.4 as well as Resco Explorer. So far I like Resco's the most, but I'm at the end of my trial so it's time to look for something else.
What file exploring programs do the rest of ya'll prefer?
Yeah Resco is the best. Here are some others:
http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/02/19/5-free-windows-mobile-file-explorers-mobile-minute/
just an update....
So I went ahead and bought Resco Explorer and Registry, They are good, but my complaints are that they cannot edit shortcut .lnk files like Total Commander can (something I've just learned how to do) and the Registry application does not have "favorites" like Explorer does. I've been using PHM RegEdit since it's first release for PocketPC many many years ago and never found a better device side substitute. I'd keep using it, but the SmartPhone version doesn't seem to export and it's favorites are broken. At least they have been since I've moved to WM6.
Thanks all and keep on!
I have searched quite thoroughly, both on this forum and wider, for a solution to this. I may be being thick, but...
When I've installed (to either the device or the SD card ) Resco Explorer I get "this is not a valid pocket pc application" when I try to run it. I've tried running it from the start menu shortcut and from the application icon in Program Files.
Would really appreciate help with this as I am unable to do any of the nice HKLM tweaks out there without Resco Explorer.

Sounds like you may have downloaded an incorrect version. Can you give us a link to where you got it from?
Well its not exactly an official source, if you see what I mean. I dont mind paying for the application, if it proves to be useful and easy for me to use. Until then I guess Im a bit stuck then.
Ive tried .cab of the 2010 beta and the 2008 "rescoexploreren_p.exe" app, installed via the PC.
You can download a free trial of Resco, but I'd recommend Total Commander. It's not as finger friendly as Resco, but it's certainly more wallet friendly (as in, it's free )
You can Google it or find it on here.
on my leo, resco file explorer 2010 runs without a problem. so i think it's because of your 'source' why it's not running on your device.
try the official demo or search for better "source". but first be sure not having downloaded a virus (actually infecting your pc)
On my HD2 Resco Explorer 2008 running without any problem, downloaded from resco.net and installed via pc.
Hi;
Im looking for recommendations for a good file manager for my HTC Desire HD, I mainly use a mac as my primary PC but also use Win XP and 7.
I'm looking for something that can access files on my SD card on my phone.
Root Explorer is what i use. Perfect for my needs.

Best one there is!
+1 for both Astro and Root Explorer
Sent from a piece of ginger bread
I use astro and root explorer together.
I love the user friendly interface of astro and its amazing app manager.
The only thing that makes me use root explorer is.. well the root aspect astro can't explore the phone's root.
I use FileGo
It's not a popular one,..due to people not understanding how it work I think (many comments say it doesnt have copy/paste),..but I like it more then Astro (which I used till it went pro).
FileGo has 2 explorer windows you can swipe between and drag/drop files for easy copy/paste.
Another nice feature is Catalog button on the bottom which gives you quick access to: SD Card, Processes, Apps, APKs, Music, Pictures.
I'll have to give root explorer a go though, only rooted recently.
I'm a file manager fanatic.
Astro-used this until it went pro
Linda manager- nice explorer
Es explorer - so far my fav
Super manager - decent, its free and allows you to explore root ... its also a task manager... its GUI is a bit unsavory and its a memory hog (28mb RAM)
Ghost commander - similar to total commander on the PC. Allows 2 pane exploring and with its update added experimental root browsing feature.
OI manager - very simple browser
Sent from my futuristic phone
Am i the only one who likes the stock files manager? Unfortunately gingerclone doesn't have it.
edit post: damn i thought i was at the vibrant sections. haha!
ES File Explorer ~ and simply because it allows me to share files with my PC.
Absolutely brilliant....
Since using ESFE I have stopped using USB to connect to my PC for sharing files.
Best three:
1.Astro
2.EStrongs (ES)
3.Dual File Manager (dual view)
first rate for astro!
ES file Explorer is my fav.

Never heard of this one until today. Whoa! This is going to be my staple file manager..beautiful folders, custom icons and classy interface..and it shows apk icons which is a must for me. Nice features in settings.
Also File Expert is nice, advanced features like "use as root explorer"..another one I liked, but can't remember.
Total Commander for Android rules
Total Commander free for Android;

A must have for anyone who's working with TC on PC and a great addition for all who do not use it on PC!

Which is the best file explorer / Manager in your opinion.
I had been using ES File Explorer for a long time but the newer changes made me shift to MiXplorer.

Solid Explorer! i also uses es file explorer before migrated to solid explorer because of the bloated es file explorer features which are i dont use much at all. solid explorer has it all that i need as much as like es file explorer.

Try mixplorer.
It's not on play store but can be found on xda.
Root explorer here, I can't really explain why, works for me. Crappy it isn't free
ES File Explorer for me is the best
I'm using the non bloated ES version taking out of this thread w/o any issues.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-es-file-explorer-3-perfect-version-t3336301
Even I was fed up of ES Explorer.. So tried my hand with MiXplorer and , boy, its good .. Lightweight and no wakelocks.. Cheers
Try FX explorer.
Best one out there.
X10 better than es file explorer
Using xplore years now...
In my opinion Its Mixplorer.
Total commander =)
Anyone who uses a newer version of ES File Explorer is a monster. I use Solid Explorer, it's just so well designed, and it's completely free of ads/bloat unlike ES. I heard that ES File Explorer even puts ads on your lock screen. Just look at all the recent reviews it got, it's pretty sad.
Was using solid explorer. Tried mixplorer........ Mindblown!

Total Commander.
it has been around for the PC quite a lot of years and even the android version is not young but lets say very "ripe" (not old!).
of course the look and feel is more like 1990s commander style, but it is very powerful if you know what you are doing.
also there is an FTP plugin (and some other ones) which come handy.
mixplorer / solid explorer
Mixplorer is dope
Fx does everything ES did for me and more, in a nicer ui/look.
Also, the root and smb/ftp/Dropbox add-ons all combine to do everything I could reasonably need it to.
It's a shame ES went the way it did. It was pretty good, but if I'm getting notified of ads, it's time to go.
Google apkmirror es file explorer
Then find version 3.2.5.3
Simply the best
Amaze. Has Google Material UI also.

Yes it constantly puts ads it even replaces your charging screen. Also, it sends ads notifications
