Getting used to advanced functions is handled through a series of tabs along the top of the screen as well as some pull down menus. A double pane window structure makes it easy for you to keep track of where you are in your directory system and make transfers from one folder to another a simple task. Anyone who's worked with a Windows machine in the past two decades won't have much trouble getting acquainted with the interface. On the surface, FreeCommander doesn't look that much different from a traditional Windows file manager. Despite its depth, learning the ins and outs is a pretty simple process, but the deeper you dig, the more quality of life tools you'll find at your fingertips. If you're a user who wants more expansive control over what's happening on your hard drive, FreeCommander is a great alternative. It's just that it gets the job done without much in the way of deeper features or bells and whistles. That's not to say that Windows file manager is bad. Overall Opinion: The native File Explorer available with a Windows operating system isn't exactly a revelation.
