While we're on the topic of recommending good freeware, we would like to tun your attention to Total commander. It's a great file browser that looks like to good old Norton Commander from the DOS era. (sample pic) It also has a striking resemblance to the old Windows file browser then the newer version that came with XP and Vista. Get it here.

Here are some of its features:

• Two file windows side by side

• Multiple language support

• Enhanced search function

• Compare files (now with editor) / synchronize directories

• Quick View panel with bitmap display

• ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB, ACE archive handling + plugins

• Built-in FTP client with FXP (server to server) and HTTP proxy support

• Parallel port link, multi-rename tool

• Tabbed interface, regular expressions, history+favorites buttons

• Thumbnails view, custom columns, enhanced search

• New: Updated interface+icons, compare editor, cursor in lister, separate trees, logging, enhanced overwrite dialog etc.

• And many more!
