If we continue using the program after 30 days without buying the license, the program will remind us that we must buy a license every time we initiate it.

After those 30 days, we must delete the program or purchase a license. The program is paid and offers a 30 days demo where we can prove it without any limitations. The software has been on the market for more than twenty years, and in its early years, it was called " Windows Commander," which later had to change because of a " complaint" from Microsoft. Thanks to the multitude of options, we can forget other additional programs to make tasks that we can already do with Total Commander. The use of this software is simple, although it may seem complicated at first sight. There are more options: Association internal and external extensions, directory synchronization, comparison file content, file encryption, and more. We can easily mount a network drive or FTP addresses thanks to the FTP Manager, which is included. It also allows us to rename files using patterns so we can rename them in batches. In addition, it also allows searching for the file's content to find, for example, the text " license" in all files of a given directory or one or several units.

This program can make advanced file searches using regular expressions and recursive searches. We can also create a queue of copy processes executed one after the other. If we want to continue to use the program while copying files, we can send the copy process to the background and continue using the program to do other tasks. Therefore, we can unzip the files by selecting them and dragging them to a different location. We do not need to use an external interface to unzip files since Total Commander can browse through the compressed files as though they were directories.

The files and directories are selected by dragging the mouse with the right button pressed to select the files we want to manipulate quickly. You can easily change to other drives in each pane, see the free drive's space, or go to the drive's root directory.įor those who know MS-DOS commands well, or for the most nostalgic, we have a text box at the bottom where we can enter MS-DOS commands. Also, we have quick access to each pane to view the history of directories we have visited.

We can even add directories to our favorites and access them from the panes. In addition, multiple tabs can be opened by pane, so we can have many locations opened on our PC, and we can manage files between them quickly and simply. We can move/copy files and folders from the left to the right and vice versa, accelerating the copy/paste process. The main screen is divided into two panes each pane will have a File Explorer.
