![]() It’s a shame Total Commander doesn’t support direct Powershell commands – but I’m sure that ill come along at some point.Īll the common stuff Total Commander does can be done using keyboard shortcuts that are a million times faster than anything you’ll see somewhere else (if you get the hang of it). ![]() But, I will use it for a host of other things like: Access to shares (cd servershare), quick profile creation (using the runas tool), quick copy and paste commands (such as examples on the web), quickly navigating to a directory (cd windows – cd system32). I confess, I most-often use the command line in Total Commander for quick access to the CMD in Windows. Whenever files are involved, you know eventually the command line will need to be used for something. Windows Commander would later be renamed to Total Commander – written by Christian Ghisler. ![]() The interface was cleanly modelled after the DOS based application called Norton Commander. ![]() The program was a cool visual representation of the file system that didn’t force me to click so many times (like I had to in File Manager). I was an avid command line user and I found a great little tool called Windows Commander to manage the growing number of files that easily consumed the little space I have. I was using one of my first computers and it ran Windows 3.11 (for Workgroups) and my hard drive size was in the 200 megabyte range. So, let me take you back to the early nineties. Very few of the tools I use fit into the category of “That great tool” – one of them, though, is Total Commander. Those are the tools that I’m interested in, and the ones I want to write about. The better of them are ones that provide the kind of flexibility that they become something entirely new. I tend to prefer tools that are as cross-platform as possible and that generally stand the test of time. I use tools for database access, process viewing, registry searching, debugging, error log parsing, mail connections and even four or five different types of FTP servers. I use a heck of allot of tools and utilities.
