Total
Commander (former Wincmd) is a file manager for Windows similar to the
Windows Explorer. But Total Commander uses a different approach: it has
two fixed windows side by side like a well-known file manager for DOS.
Total
Commander (formerly know as Wincmd) is an file manager replacement for
the Windows Explorer. This is the 32 bit version for Windows 95/98/ME
and Windows NT/2000/XP. A 16 bit version is also available.
Total
Commander handles archives like subdirectories. It supports
ZIP/ARJ/LHA/RAR/UC2/TAR/GZ/CAB/ACE archives, and has an internal
ZIP-compatible packer. The search function allows to search for files
inside archives, even for text.
A
command line helps starting programs with parameters, and a fully
configurable button bar allows to launch programs and internal commands.
The built-in viewer can show files in text, hex, binary, image and
multimedia format.
The 32 bit version supports
Drag&Drop from and to explorer/desktop, delete to the recycle bin,
and Explorer style context menus/property sheets. FTP servers on the
Internet can be accessed like local drives.
A configurable directory hotlist (bookmarks) and history list make directory navigation easier.
The
sync function allows to synchronize two complete directory trees, and
the compare function shows the difference of two binary or text files
highlighted side by side.
