About Active Directory Explorer (AD Explorer)
Active Directory Explorer (AD Explorer) is an advanced Active Directory (AD) viewer and editor. You can use AD Explorer to easily navigate an AD database, define favorite locations, view object properties and attributes without having to open dialog boxes, edit permissions, view an object's schema, and execute sophisticated searches that you can save and re-execute. AD Explorer also includes the ability to save snapshots of an AD database for off-line viewing and comparisons. When you load a saved snapshot, you can navigate and explore it as you would a live database. If you have two snapshots of an AD database you can use AD Explorer's comparison functionality to see what objects, attributes and security permissions changed between them.

Explorer++
Explorer++ is a lightweight and fast file manager for Windows. Explorer++ is a small and fast file manager for Windows. With tabs, bookmarks, and advanced file operations, it allows you to be much more productive! Currently, the method Explorer++ uses to monitor directories for changes only works in real filesystem folders. That means that if you create a file in a library, for example, Explorer++ won’t pick up the change. A unified system to persist data in a single format would have clear advantages. Explorer++ would still need to be able to load data from the registry/XML config file (at least initially), but the general process of loading and saving data would be a lot simpler. In Explorer++, column results are retrieved in a background thread. That stops the application from hanging while data is being retrieved. With the option to save to the registry or a configuration file, Explorer++ is completely portable.
