Cons

Windows File Explorer offers a free alternative to the functions and settings that are currently available on Windows. The main reason this software was created was because the developers of FreeSoftLabs desired to have an alternative to the function that becomes present when users sort or view files.

With this application, you can change the way you sort or view files. You can choose your view to be single view or side-by-side view. With the current version of Windows, you have to actually set your settings to icon or detail mode to be able to change the sort settings. You then have to switch the settings back to preview mode after you have made these adjustments. With Windows File Explorer, you do not have to do this. Windows File Explorer also has the potential to improve your file search function.

While the changes that this software can make may seem minor and insignificant to some users, this is actually an application that many workers may come to appreciate. It is typically professional business workers who will be using and sorting files on a regular basis. By using this application, you can expect to have a level of sorting that is not currently available.
