Open source Qmmander is a dual-pane, tabbed Explorer alternative
Qmmander is a lightweight, portable alternative. Built on Nokia's QT framework, Qmmander (like many Explorer replacements) adds tab support and split-window views to power up your file management tasks.
File browsing is snappy, even when exploring shares on a local area network. Qmmander's panes can be displayed horizontally or vertically, and an extensive set of hotkeys is built-in for those who prefer mouse-free computing. Qmmander's interface isn't overly-complicated and it still sports a nice set of features in a small, portable package.
However, one feature advanced users might find lacking in Qmmander is the ability to bookmark or favorite folders. It would certainly make for a thoughtful addition. I usually work in the same set of 5 or 6 folders, so being able to load them quickly and easily would be a real time-saver.
Qmmander is free, portable, open source, and runs on Windows. It's packed as a 7z archive, so you'll need an app (like 7-zip) to extract it.

an interesting attempt at Total Commander for windows and Krusader on linux :)

If tabs are the only really useful feature here, you'd better try QTTabBar. However, it is IMHO not really necessary to develop /another/ tabbed file manager for Windows.
(I prefer xplorer², but it is all a matter of taste, I guess...)

(BTW: I never used two panels, IMHO multi-tabbing is more than enough for useful work...)

Does this have an option to replace itself as default? I find xplorer2 has this, but it doesn't seem to replace 100%

It'll be worth trying out once it hits beta....its still in alpha development.
