However, it seems novice users like Windows Explorer while geeks especially who like the performance and the convenience prefer dual-panel file managers such as Total Commander. Not only allows you to do things same as Windows Explorer, it can also provide some handy features such as FTP, compress/decompress, split/join files etc. And its ability can be easily extended by using plugins contributed by the worldwide community.
But Total Commander is a shareware, and it always appears a message box requires you to choose an appropriate number. To remove this annoy box, you must buy a key.
To find a free alternative to Total Commander, I would suggest you to try Free Commander which nearly provides same features as Total Commander and even some more significant. Here are some great features you may love:
Preview a file
Select a file in a panel, press Ctrl + Q and you can preview it in the other panel. You can preview doc/ppt/xls/txt, listen audio files and even watch video files.
Live search
Get in a folder, simply type some first letters of the filename you are looking for, it will filter the list and only files which include those letters appear.
Get the checksum of any file
No need to install an application to generate checksum, you can get this simply right in Free Commander.
Take screenshot
You can take the screenshot and save it as a BMP/JPG file or copy it to clipboard. You can also adjust the quality of the screenshot.
Compare/synchronize folders
This might come in handy when you want to keep your data on PC and on USB or network disk synchronized.
