There is also a 3rd party tool called BetterExplorer. Try both solution and use the one you like more.

I think you read the question wrong.

Better Explorer is so slow

@Magnetic_dud Thanks, which one are more stable? Do you used any one before?

[magicandre1981]

Better Explorer is slow because it is a WPF application.

I only used Better Explorer, but I could not bear waiting 3-4 seconds to its startup. I think the Styler solution is great - now I am using Windows 8, so I don't need it anymore
