The Dired Plus Package by Drew Adams

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DiredPlus
Manually download dired+ to a folder in your .emacs.d folder
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/dired%2b.el
Then tell Emacs where to find the file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/dired+")
Then, byte compile the file and require it: (require 'dired+)

In vanilla Dired, dired-next-marked-file (M-} or * C-n) and
dired-previous-marked-file (M-{ or * C-p) wrap around when
you get to the end or the beginning of the Dired buffer. Handy.

But the other navigation commands do not wrap around. In Dired+
they do, provided option diredp-wrap-around-flag is non-nil,
which it is by default. This means the following commands:

diredp-next-line - n, C-n, down, SPC
diredp-previous-line - p, C-p, up
diredp-next-dirline - >
diredp-prev-dirline - <
diredp-next-subdir - C-M-n
diredp-prev-subdir - C-M-p

(diredp-hide-details-initially-flag t) (diredp-wrap-around-flag nil)
Use customize-option to customise these

(diredp-compressed-file-suffix ((t (:foreground "orange"))))
Use customize-face to customise this
Note: you can customize a face to have the same appearance as face default

Dired+ loads library w32-browser.el if Emacs is running on Microsoft Windows, using it to extend
Dired in a few ways.

• M-RET – Open a file in Windows in its default app
  
• C-RET – Open Windows Explorer on a file or folder
  
• ^ - Get a list of drives on your computer (great!)
  

(diredp-w32-local-drives '(("C:" "Local disk") ("E:" "Local disk")))
You will need w32-browser.el (which you need to put in your load-path and require, if you want to use it.)
