If you like "Commander" File managers

http://www.rmonet.com/commander/ Many shareware, freeware, current and dead.
The linked "Orthodox File Manager" site is also a good read

Searching up a few archives for the dead ones where I can find, but it's getting late ... you know me, I'd rather have a free 1.x than pay out for version 2 (in the terms of "pricelessware" - a "last freeversion", so long as progress doesn't render it unusable - and to a degree, the "orthodox file manager" is anti-progress anyway).

Jeez, I really like the stability and the minimalism of Total Commander, but I feel like I'd have to take a week-long course to retrain myself to understand and exploit its full functionality. Could somebody produce a tutorial for this app (yeah, I know you advanced users are sneering now).

Until then, I'll be basking in the luke-warm shallows of the compromising GUI-driven Servant Salamander (the most recent beta of which has become much more stable).

Total Commander is the next best thing since water... Most certainly the greatest Windows application ever made. It's actually quite easy to learn it: just USE it all the time, after just 2-3 days you would have dismissed the thought of opening an odd Windows Explrorer window.
