FreeCommander is one of them!
I could give you a long list of reasons why I chose FreeCommander as my file manager of choice. The website has a long list of features, but I'll give you my top 5. You can explore more of the features after you download it.
1. Multi-view display
You can have single or dual windows and multiple tabs for each window. Each tab representing a folder. Quick visual access to multiple folders is what power users are looking for.
2. Customizable
With a bit of time spent, you can alter so much of the display and behavior of the program. Add your own shorcuts to programs and take advantage of parameters that FreeCommander can pass on to those programs. Very powerful option indeed! My newest configuration is shown below.
3. Expandable
Through the use of totalcommander plugins and support for 3rd party programs, you can use FC XE to act as a smart program launcher or perform file management options that would typically require an additional program to use.
4. Current
Marek, the author of FreeCommander has been diligently doing updates. The forum is active and has users ready to help new people take full advantage of this great software. That being said, the author does listen to requests and adds features with each new release.
5. Free
That's right. FREE. But donating to the author provides with you the latest donor version which includes the latest enhancements and bug fixes.
