Windows Explorer is the default file explorer in Windows and often does a pretty good job.  It lets you look over the entire file system, see files and details about the files, and for some types even gives you a preview of what's inside.  It is, however, not very fast, and can also have stability issues. SnowBird is a free, lightweight, portable program that will allow you to quickly browse the files on your system.  It doesn't have all the features of Windows Explorer, but it has all the basics and does them very quickly.  Even network drives and Internet drives are quickly explored with this program.  Also, since it's independant of Windows, unlike Explorer, if it crashes (which I have yet to see), it won't take down your desktop with it.  You can also run it from a flash drive so you can use it on machines where you may not have access to run Windows Explorer, or where a virus or spyware has prevented explorer from running. Overall, a VERY useful and fast little program. SnowBird
