Version 2.1.2 is released in Installer and Portable version!

Compact Style

The user interface was enhanced. Now you can change look to old System Explorer 1.5 style. Left menu with the list of windows can be switched off and replaced with top-menu switch. Main application screen is thus enlarged for those who prefer the classical and compact application look.

All the individual sections can be easily changed form the top-menu switch. User can easily pick the screen from list as usually - just click on the bold text of the actual screen name.

Processes highlighting

To improve the first-look overview on the main application window, all newly running processes lines are for three seconds filled with green underlying color. User can quickly recognize all new processes running on the computer.

Also the line of process being terminated is for three seconds filled with red underlying color. This can help the user to find the main actions occurring on the computer in a fast and more transparent way.

Lines with the core system processes are grayed. It can help in a faster way to differ the system and non-system processes running on the computer.

The processes with the same name as some system process, which is not running from the system directory, is colored red. User can directly find the suspicious processes on a first look.

Processes Tree correction

If process doesn't have existing parent process, then it can't be correctly placed to Process Tree. New version of System Explorer will automatically determine the right place in tree by process user SID so the Process Tree will be better organized.

Improved updates check

Search for new updates is now more user friendly. User can decided if the information about new updates should be raised for all updates, on major releases only or the check for new versions will be disabled, letting the user not being bothered with raising new version window and giving the chance to check for the version manually. As we are improving the application rapidly and based on our users' recommendations, we recommend to check for All updates.

Web changes

Also the web pages of the application are developing rapidly. New users Forum has been introduced with the topics important for better user-developer interaction. The remarks, notes and requests are quickly processed and replied by forum administrators.

The file database is uniquely incorporated to the most application screens just on a right-click of the mouse. The database is growing each day to provide more information about all files that can be found on user's computer. This helps in a great way to improve the system stability and keeping the system clean of any harmful files and well protected.
