Once had an issue with a corrupt windows sys file and it ended up being easy to find in Total Commander, was using about 90% of my CPU and had to just reinstall some of the XP files at the time to fix it. Program is much more in depth then normal old Task Manager and it's free so why not get it! It's a big upgrade.

| earthwind on September 11, 2009 2:53 AM | This is the best program (inkl. addons) for file-management, directory-management, archive-management, file- and directory search, FTP + SFTP, quick Email-checks via POP3, quick browsing, pdf-search, file-, picture- and video-quickview, multi-renaming, CD- and DVD-data-burning, unerase, quick-editing of text files, registry-manangement, service-management, device-mnanagement, easy file-transfer between cameras and computer, easy networking, startup-management, and many more.
It greatly enhances working speed and overview and facilitates organization on a computer. It is very flexible and in many ways can be adjusted according to the user's needs (toolbars, colours, mouse operations, shortcuts, logging, plugins and many more can be easily customized). This version is again an admireable improvement. Many thanks to Christian Ghisler and team for the development of this program and for the excellent support! Although TCmd is designed for Windows, it works very well with Wine under Linux. TCmd can be copied to a USB-Stick (further improved in this version) and used on other computers where useres are allowed to execute *.exe-files from other drives than the system drive. I am a user since about 12 years and if I was asked which program on a computer I would take with me to an island, it would be Total Commander. Try it yourself

| ir0ck on June 13, 2009 1:52 PM | Best file manager on 4 wheels for Windows. What can I say, I've used this program since it was Windows Commander at it's inception and Christian has stuck with this program making improvements each release. This is one developer who Listens to His Users. 38 bux well spent. The shareware nag is never annoying, just a reminder that he needs to feed his kids lol.
I still remember how excited I was when ftp was added ! Feature for Feature there is None better. Add to that there are Hundreds of addon's for it and a tutorial on how to write your own ! I view logs, turn on and off services, I can resize errant windows. In my camera security app I can resize the window from full screen to any size I want. Therefore I can take an 800x600 only app and resize it to fit in one corner of my 1280x1024 screen. Bravo Christian for a dynamite App, God Bless!

| gus7 on February 24, 2009 4:15 AM | I use Total Commander for added safety in the handling of files. Windows explorer is a very basic file manager that can introduce big mistakes if one is not attentive enough. I really feel like a blind man in the dark without Total Commander when I use a computer. In addition, it helps me as a webmaster to copy files to the web hostings in an instant. I thank the author for having created this program because without it the computing world would be a little more difficult. Anyone working with large number of files every day, such as webmasters need a program like Total Commander. [Edited by gus7 on 2009-02-24 04:19:12]

| Patrick Boylan on August 10, 2008 6:27 AM | starlight is right:
Total Commander is the best computer program ever written. !
It shows what OS's should have been like, bar none. Awesome speed, compactness, intuitiveness, versatility, care for detail. Congratulations to Christian Ghisler and the people supporting him. This program has made handling file-related operations a breeze (despite Windows) and its safeguard features have saved me from countless disastrous errors. We should all chip in and build a monument to Ghisler!

| flashman on September 12, 2007 1:26 PM | Simply outstanding, and FAR better than anything Microsoft have ever done for Windows. I've been using this program since version 3 and it's indispensable.
|
| Greybeard on September 8, 2007 11:24 AM | Christian Ghisler is one of my heroes. Yeah, right up there with the great Peter Norton, I would say. I also use Total Commander everyday, and at every coding session. I have various versions scattered around my PC's and laptops, and none of them has ever failed me. It's a damned fine piece of software, robust, practical and intuitive (as all software should be, although the vast majority of programs just aren't, regrettably)!

| j.dale on June 21, 2007 7:27 PM | Total Commander gives you room for misstakes. As a default action the file is copied when dragged between filemaps, that alone makes it better than some very common filemanagers.

| starlight on June 9, 2007 5:47 AM | Hi,
Total Commander is the best computer program ever written. It combines file management, organization of information, search tools, FTP-tools, Email-download, easy system overwiew and configuration, individually configurable interface, easy burning of data CDs/DVDs, efficient addon collection, very good support etc. etc. Thanks a lot to the developers and to the increasing number of users.

| cnuermbergerjr on July 29, 2006 1:41 PM | I've been using the Commander since Peter Norton first wrote the DOS version about a thousand years ago. There is no better file manager. A definite 5.
|
| bearspencer on July 10, 2006 10:36 PM | Simply, this program is a 5.
|
| eko on March 14, 2006 7:11 AM | Best Windows Explorer I ever used. Unfortunately, it has some problems when it comes to network browsing.
That doesn't make it less usable, though. Deserves every penny! (First thing I install after Windows). I've made it work on Knoppix, too ! I wish to Ghisler to live a hundred years for this program!

| DarienFenn on February 7, 2005 9:55 AM | TechSpot's interface fooled me - I wanted to rate this a 5 also. Actually, I'd rate it a 6 out of 5.
This is one of the finest programs I have ever encountered. The interface is quick and intuitive, and because you can turn off stupid MS frills like file icons, WC is blazingly fast. The keyboard equivalents for important functions make it even faster. The range of file management options is amazing. Check out the file synchronization, find duplicate files, multi-rename options. I even use it as my FTP manager for uploading web files. Totally stable - I can't remember it ever crashing in more than 5 years. The best piece of software I own by far.

| Ira on January 24, 2005 10:52 PM | I just rated this program 3--but that's a mistake. An errant click. I meant to rate it 5 for excellent.
I have used this program for at least five years, through a whole series of versions. I picked it after evaluating a whole slew of Windows files managers. It clearly seemed the best to me. Five years later I still feel that way. It is the one program that is always on. The basic interface, originally modeled after Norton Commander, is fast, obvious and intuitive to use. It incorporates every possible function within a file manager that one could want (in addition to fast and easy moving, copying, files): FTP, zip/unzip, a viewer, etc etc etc/ A great program.
