Hi!
Updated Database (permalink)! The old File Commander 4 (aka verzechnis.exe) had many annoyances, totally eliminated in the new version 5.

It supports English, German, Polish and Dutch.
About FileCommander 5
FileCommander 5 is a huge freeware file explorer. It is the latest version of the FileCommander-family. The known 2-window mode was expended to 4-window mode. Here is a small feature list:

four operating windows for fast browsing
big file preview to have a quick view in almost every kind of file
ZIP, 7zip and RAR files are handled as folders, ZIP files are supported without the need of any external dll
no installation required, you can run FileCommander from USB-drives, hard disc drives, CD-ROMs, ...
internal tool list to have quick-access to every important software on your system
internal script engine: create your own script and individualize FileCommander for your needs
internal, self-written file copy engine for fast file operations.
fast file search for searching for any kind of file
lots of small file utilities (e.g. file splitting)
internal file context menu for having quick-access to every important FileCommander - feature
internal clipboard: the windows clipboard will not be overwritten by selecting and copying files to the clipboard
file highlighting to separate different file types optically
every file access is threaded, you can continue working while FileCommander processes the executed operations (I hate explorers, which hang up only because my CD-drive is spinning up)
Multi-language support (which finally works perfect)
FileCommander 5 only has an English and a German language file. But you can translate it, send the translation file to me and I will include it to the next version package.

The big advantage of this super-explorer is that not only has 4 windows, but anyone of them has both: tree and folders view. I have tested and it is great. Impresive, I must say.

I agree! ...and hope that the author, who is quite active, will improve it again and again 8)

Agreed, a very slick program. It loads incredibly quickly.

Once I figured out how to add folders to my bookmarks (drag a folder from a file list pane to the bookmark group), it was good to go.
