This is official description

Xplorer² lite is a tabbed dual-pane file manager that maintains the familiar look and feel of the standard windows explorer while offering tons of advanced features. Unlike most alternative file managers that seem to require a PhD in computer science to figure them out, xplorer² offers a clean and shell integrated extension model for productive everyday file management.
If you know how to use windows explorer you'll feel immediately at home; yet xplorer² can take you places you've never been before — not with explorer anyway!
 
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 1.7

The Explorer² Lite program gives you the necessary tools for managing your files. The software is a desktop browsing and file management application that is kept simple. Just because it is not extravagantly designed, it does not mean that you will be missing any of the important basic features.

With this program you can add comments to the file system information and determine what individual folder settings you want. You can also search through office and PDF documents and look for certain texts using the filters. Another feature is the all-area shell namespace access and the shell also supports drag and drop functions, as well as context menus and multi-window operation. There is also the folder tree and any changes in the folders will automatically be picked up. The path will also be finished with the autocompletion feature.

Graphics are displayed in a thumbnail view mode and HTML can be previewed. You can see a lot at once because the thumbnails are mini in size and densely packed together. The toolbar can be customized by the user. The system icons can also be customized and given skins or overlays. Icons can be displayed in groups for an easier viewing.
  • Very useful program
  • Doesn’t have all the features.

Why can't Microsoft fix Explorer to work like the full version of this. It would be a great improvement to what they put out and when you get used to it, it is a great help. Why have several programs to install that dose the same thing, just better
