File Utility

I’m pretty sure I no longer miss Power Desk.  The version I have (paid) doesn’t work on Vista.  Ant Commander does, and at first and cursive glance gets a “wow” out of me.  Believe it or not, that’s hard to do.  It’s so powerful it’s dangerous.  FreeCommander is at least nearly as powerful, much more clumsy and somehow consistently exasperating.

If you regard yourself as anything of a novice, FreeCommander would probably be the better choice.  If you delete something with Ant Commander, it’s gone.  No cool little recycle bin.  You can make a new directory quite easily.  If you’re an experienced user and can think about things before you do them, I’d recommend Ant Commander.  “mkdir” back in Windows.  My word.
