AB Commander

A keyboard and mouse are the means through which you interact with your computer and manage files. Although Windows comes with necessary tools for easy management, they might not be enough to live up to advanced tasks. Luckily, there are an abundance of applications like AB Commander you can use to quickly access multiple locations on your computer and perform various operations in a practical environment.

Accommodation is the least thing you need to worry about. Not only because the application is polished from all points of view, but the layouts are similar to any simple file explorer and if you managed to get here you more than sure know how to handle it. Flat tiles keep icons simple and intuitive, with resizable navigation panels fitted with additional tabs for more locations.

A neat advantage is the application can be set to replace your default file explorer. This means that each time you access a folder it's displayed in AB Commander and this comes in very handy if the set of features tickles your fancy. For more ease of access, hotkey support lets you launch the main window at the press of a few buttons.

Panels can easily be managed, but you can only have two visible locations at a time, unless you launch multiple instances. Controls let you switch views, quickly access important locations of your computer or keep more folders active stored in individual tabs for both panels. What's more, you have the possibility to save favorites, thus benefiting from enhanced flexibility.

The context menu is the default one you see in Windows explorer. You can use it to your advantage to move, copy, rename or delete files, and you can even drag items from one panel to the other. Large files can be split for convenient storing, as well as merged to be used again. All details displayed, such as size, path and names can be piled up in a text file, with items separated according to your specifications.

AB Commander is a powerful candidate at greatly enhancing the way you move around the desktop or completely replacing the file explorer. It sports a clean, polished interface that quickly gets you up and running, while practicality is further enhanced by the abundance and variety of navigation, editing and management tools put at your disposal.
