Enhance Windows Explorer

It is really painful to copy files using the Windows explorer. It only displays one folder at a time and it is often inevitable to open two explorer windows to copy files from one folder to another. This takes lots of time and is not very ergonomic. The software Folder Box is a windows explorer upgrade which adds another window to the windows explorer. This makes it very easy to transfer files from one folder to the other or perform other file operations that require two folders.

You can navigate normally in the new explorer window. It is possible to add up to five tabs to the second explorer window which lead to certain paths on your system. You could for instance create tabs to quickly access the desktop with all of its files, a network drive or a removable drive.

Folder Box is a free software which has to be enabled by clicking on View > Explorer Bar and selecting Folder Bar from the menu.
