Every month we preview a software package that can help enhance your computers usability and functionality.

Home Page: http://www.ghisler.com/index.htm

This week on the Downloads section we introduce you to Total Commander.  Formally known as Windows Commander.  Total Commander is the ultimate file management program.  It is an excellent replacement for Windows Explorer for those of you who want more out of file management.

This program is Shareware but still has all it's features available.  The only limitation it has is a pop-up at the start of the program asking you to register this software package.  The authors have worked really hard so please register this program and help support their efforts!

How to use Total Commander:

Here is a tutorial on how to use Total Commander

Note: On this site Total Commander is called Windows Commander, this was before it's name change due mostly to legal issues.
