Resco Explorer vs. Advanced Explorer... is Resco really worth that much more? What does everyone use/think?

I dont know what advanced explorer is. I used to use Total Commander its a great FREE explorer. Has most of the features that Resco does. I ultimates upgraded to resco, its prettier and has a few more advanced features. Both are great so look at your budget and decide.

I've used Resco Explorer since I discovered that the built in search function in 2002 would only find files in the My documents folder. I have used it ever since and it works flawlessly and easily and allows me to edit the registry quickly and cleanly. I don't think I have ever read a post from a resco user who didn't love it. So let your budget be your guide, just remember that cheaper isn't always cheaper if you end up replacing it later.

 

I have a bunch of file explorers:

Free:
Total Commander
GSFinder

Fee:
Resco Explorer
Advanced Explorer

Out of them all, Total Commander is my favorite. It's not as full featured as Resco, but I love it nonetheless.

Between RE and AE - Depends on how much you'll use it.

I recommend installing Total Commander and GSFinder. If you find you need the FTP functionality, get AE for $3, or whatever it's going for now. If it still doesn't meet your needs, install the trial of RE, and then determine if you could really benefit from it.

I own AE and RE. AE is a good and cheap alternative, with a handy waste basket feature. But, RE is VGA ready for my X50v, while AE looked like crap. And, I do think that RE has more features and is basically the gold-standard of File Explorers.

I bought it with Stickies, and PhotoViewer (the Utility Suite--I think they call it), which was on sale as a package, and I had a 20% coupon at Handango for taking their survey, and I also had a bonus discount to redeem from Handango, so it was pretty cheap.

I didn't need RE, as I had AE, but I am glad I have it now, and I do think it's a super program.

The opinions expressed above are not necessarily the opinions of management and in fact may be the opposite of that intended in order to confuse and obfuscate trolling readers.

I use advanced explorer and love it. for two bucks, I got an FTP client, zip program, file explorer, registry editor, network browser, and the recycle bin. I compared it with Resco and saw no value in paying for the more powerful program... at least not how I use it.
