I prefer 1DirPlus from Bourbaki.  It is very friendly, powerful, and easy
to use.
	You can personalize each sub-directory, using batch files to set up
complex situations when you enter.  You can easily hide files (or directories)
and mask files so that only certain ones are visible.  It has a built-in
editor which is very fast and easy to use.
	Its most powerful features include an easy 'move' command which
will re-organize files into other sub-directories, and group copys, deletes,
etc.
	Directory presentation can be tailored to show stats w/help notes
for new users, or extended stats (date, time and size), or wide display
for those directories with LOTS of files, just to mention a few. Each
sub-directory can present the file list differently.
	Directories can be password protected.  Colors are all programmable,
and some can be changed from directory to directory.

	1DirPlus is available from Telemart, for example for about $47.


All in all, a very useful product.

Usual disclaimers apply, I am just a satisfied user.
