What the Zuk: an ode to Total Commander: "
Filed under: Utilities, Features, Op-Ed
What the Zuk is a (very) occasional feature, in which I review software that I have been using for many years, and which is instrumental for my work. These are the first tools I install on every new system, the reliable work-horse applications I turn to for every need. In every installment I will try to explain what makes this particular program special, and why I find it so vital for my computing experience.
The first program I'd like to review is none other than perennial classic, Total Commander. Now, this review isn't aimed at the hardened geeks who use FAR and other file managers; rather, it's aimed at most Windows users, whom, I assume, use plain Explorer. And while Explorer has made tremendous strides over the past few years, it still doesn't come close to what you can do with Total Commander.
So if you've looked at the screenshot and wondered what could you possibly get out of such an 'antiquated' interface, keep on reading to find what you can do with Total Commander that you can't do with Explorer.
Dave's Take: I'll definitely have to check this out. Right now I'm using Cubic Xplorer on Windows 7. Folder bookmarks, tabbed browsing, it's great. I guess he's recently started working on CE 2.0. Can't wait!
