Hi Everyone

Does anyone know of a way to customise windows explorer columns to show folder size as well as file size and also change font colour dependent upon a category.

For example in my music folder I have 2 artists that contain adult mp3's so just to remind myself I would like their names to be say red. Also I have some empty folders as I have not yet obtained the albums and those would be say blue.

Example of what I am after :

If it can not be done in Explorer how do I replace Explorer with a replacement file manager.

Fingers, toes, etc crossed :dinesh:

Hi Rich

Many thanks for reply. I had tried friend google but must have been asking for wrong thing.

Tried again and found Multi Commander which does most things I want. Just have to sort out coloured fonts.

Multi Commander is certainly worth a look

Someone else mentioned Multi Commander recently. I'll have to take a look and see what it does.

Just tried it, pretty good. Reminds me a bit of Q-Dir. I like that it has a portable version so no install is needed.
