I like some of the freeware explorers, including this one. I just wonder if
there's a way to have it come up instead of Windows Explorer when you double
click a folder, or whatever. Just curious.

To: Sweet Andy -- Default file manager. I don't know for sure. but I
don't think this is possible, You may find some help here:

http://docs.geoshell.org/display/R4/Default+File+Manager
see warning! -- careful with these settings!

--------

Other than that, you can always change the associations, or use a
multi-association freeware utility, so that when you click on,say, a
ZIP or a RAR, or EXE, you can have alternatives to the default
associated app.

It may also depend on which version of Windows you're using as well.
