What is Windows Commander?



Windows Commander is a file manager for Windows  similar to the Windows file

manager WINFILE.EXE. But Windows Commander uses a different approach: it has two

fixed windows like a well-known file manager for DOS.



Here some key features of Windows Commander:



- Keyboard functions similar to the DOS original.

- Supports Drag & Drop with the mouse, including to the print manager.

- Extended copying, moving, renaming and deleting of entire trees 

  (Enables deleting "full" directories")

- Archives are handled like subdirectories. You can easily copy files

  to and from archives. The appropriate archiver program is automatically

  called. Pkzip, arj and lha are all supported.

- Start-menu (User-defined commands) to place your frequently used DOS and

  Windows programs into a drop down menu. The actual directory and/or the file

  under the cursor can be handed over to the application.

- Command line for the simple starting of programs with parameters, simply

  by typing the program name or by pressing CTRL+ENTER or CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

- Enhanced search function with full text search in any files across multiple

  drives

- Built in file viewer (F3) to view files of ANY SIZE in hex, binary or text

  format, using either the ASCII- (DOS) or the ANSI- (Windows) character set.

- Internal Unzip by Info-Zip, which allows unzipping without calling an

  external program! The source code in Turbo-Pascal is free and can be obtained

  directly from the author.



Removing Windows Commander: If you remove the program, also delete the files

wincmd.ini and noclose.pif in your Windows directory!
