Product Description:

Macintosh Explorer provides an alternative method of browsing your hard drives. The first ever Mac file browser to provide tabbed file browsing, thumbnail picture previews, and filter based file browsing. As well, it provides a familiar interface for file navigation for Windows users converting to the Mac.

Macintosh Explorer provides such features as removing unneeded files, backing up important documents, extended file information and a batch file info changer combined with an easy to use file browser. Allowing you to perform various operations on files and folders while browsing your hard drives.

Still a clunker - Version: 4.3, 4/7/2005 03:11AM PST

Its a terrible shame, but this is still terribly slow - Greg's browser, though less feature-rich and nowhere near as pretty, is still my preferred choice.

Pretty nifty app… - Version: 3.0, 5/8/2002 12:10PM PST

if you get accustomed to it. Beneficial for those who work with windows all day or those migrating from it. Ideally suitable working with larger file servers than just your own drives. "Add to Links" bar is a nice feature. Scroll wheel support is horrible and trying to rename a folder once you've created one is unintuitive. Overall, not bad. If' you're in the mood to change the way you move around the desktop - give it try.

Very nice rewrite!… - Version: 3.0, 1/17/2002 01:11PM PST
