I haven't seen all but Disk Order has a Mac look and is cool.
Krusader has a KDE look.
BeCommander v0.7.2, SlashX, AccelMan File manager are simple and looks good too.

The most horrible are Ac Browser Plus, FileMatrix, GNU Midnight Commander

Midnight commander is just superb if you know to use it. Atleast the *nix version is.

I had used Directory Opus 8. Its much much faster than Windows Explorer, and has got loads of options and customisations.

Tactile 3D is also one of them. It has got a virtual 3D interface as if in Space.

It seems that Disk Order is available only for MACs. I searched for the link and went to the download page of Disk Order; only to find no download option for Windows.

Please tell me where I can get Disk Order and try...

Yes Disk Order is for Mac only. It was a mistake to include it in the list. About 4-5 others belonging to Linux were also wrongly added to the list.

Yeah, Directory Opus 8 is the way to go when u want something extra, more powerful and a nice GUI.

Tactile 3d is a future concept of 3d desktop. Not much handy for geeks. Atleast try it once to see what future holds for you.

Tactile 3d is a joke , and future is not dumb.

XYplorer is a nice one, also has built in search tool that gives you the feel and control of the win98 find feature. And displays all info in the same window.
I like it.
SlashX is also nice.

The Disk Order software which u are talking about is for Mac the windows disk order is ridiculous.
Here is the link to windows disk order:*www.yildun.com/dskorder.html

It does not look cool or offer much functionality.
