In practice, Explorer View works exactly as advertised, seamlessly opening all the MP3, DOC, PDF, PPT, XLS files we threw at it, along with many others...For businesses swamped with dozens of attachments a day, the price seems more than reasonable for all the time and effort Explorer View could save.

Explorer View for Outlook places an Explorer View button in the Outlook Tool bar. When the button is clicked it replaces the standard Outlook Reading Pane with the Explorer View Reading Pane. To return to the standard Outlook Reading Pane, just click the Explorer View button again.

Explorer View then selects the appropriate file viewing technology to preview the file. However, it also provides the flexibility to choose other attachment display options, such as Text or HEX.

When the Explorer View reading pane is activated it identifies email attachments by their internal file structure (i.e. the header, content and footer of the file). This gives an added layer of security because it is not possible to trick Explorer View by changing the file extension.
