Menu Files for Total Commander

 Spinning disk

Do you know Total Commander ?

Total Commander (formerly known as Windows Commander) is one of the most supreme file managing programs you can imagine for Windows.

Total Commander fully replaces Windows' Explorer for copying, moving and renaming files. Furthermore Total Commander offers a simple way to change the file properties (file attributes, date and time). File contents can be compared or files can be renamed according to advanced criteria. Total Commander can also be used to syncronize whole folder structures for instance between two computers or between your own computer and a FTP-server on the Net.

Total Commander replaces WinZip or other programs for handling packed files. Reading the following packed file formats is supported: ZIP, ARJ, LHA, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB and ACE - and Total Commander has its own built-in ZIP-packer. Total Commander also functions as a shell for external file packing program.

Aditionally Total Commander replaces programs like WS_FTP or CuteFTP for FTP-transfer of files to and from servers on the Net.

Menus

Total Commander can be configured in considerable detail by the user - you can for instance design your own menu system for the entire program.

Below is a suite of alternative menus that can be used with Total Commander - menus that in my opinion expands the functionality of the program.

Nostalgia

Total Commander is an advanced development of the file handling concept from the illustrious Norton Commander for DOS. Because of that I have also made some menus which is close to the menus in Norton Commander and the Norton Commander clone Volkov Commander.
