This is a Finder replacement that offers many enhancements over Apple's Finder. For example, you can sort by date in column view. It will even provide its own desktop (with improved icon placement). Unfortunately, it has a couple of problems that keep me going back to the Finder: Its search facility is primitive compared to the Finder's and (at least on the two computers that I've tried it on) choosing "Connect to Server..." consistently crashes Path Finder.
