FreeComander, free file manager similar to TotalComander - video tutorial

Hi, I'm Dan and today I will present the FreeCommander program, this is a free and very efficient file manager similar to the famous Total Commander, with FreeCommander we can successfully replace Windows Explorer which is the file manager integrated in Microsoft Windows operating systems, Windows Explorer is quite old and we feel the need for a modern and efficient tool that can help us in the daily "fight" with files and directories (folders),
Standard interface for a program like this, with two panel's (left / right or up, down) shortcuts for quick access to drives (both hard disk partitions, as well as mobile hard drive, network, or FTP ), buttons for forward / reverse search function integrated button for Control Panel, Dos Box, etc..
However, you can quickly customize this interface to provide more information and, perhaps the most important thing for some of you, to be displayed in Romanian. The translation is signed by Alexandru Munteanu.
Without wasting time. Extra -> Settings -> Language. In the drop-down box we choose, romanian.lng. OK. Attention! In order to display the new names correctly, you must (if you have not already done so) set the regional settings.

  • How to install Windows (any version) on the stick and there is the possibility to be used without without hard disk?
    excellent tutorials.

  • Very useful tutorial but I would like to come to the aid of those who have problems displaying the letter "ş" and "ţ" in certain programs set in Romanian (as seen in Dan's tutorial) and which can become irritating. I looked for a solution and found it on the official Microsoft website from which you can download a special update called "UPDATE OF SOURCES CORRESPONDING TO THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION" and which solves many of those diacritics that were not displayed correctly in their place appearing all kinds of hieroglyphs. And now I quote directly from the site:
    "Recommended Microsoft Windows operating system and Windows XP 2000: font minimal upgrade in order to ensure compatibility with the Romanian language character set.
    1.02 version of the update include the fonts Arial, Times New Roman, Trebuchet and Verdana. Updated versions of Times New Roman, Arial and Verdana include six additional characters for Romanian and Bulgarian languages ​​not available in Windows XP versions of these fonts.
    For Windows Vista, the upgrade will only upgrade the Verdana font family. The other font families do not need to be updated. "
    If you want you can download this update and ensure that things improve substantially related to the drop in our language Romanian! I put below link directly to the source-EUupdate-download this file and install it 100% sure it's for the their mother.

  • Thanks Dan for the tutorial and for your patience.
    The program is quite thick in options and Dan wanted to be as explicit as possible to be understood by everyone that's why the tutorial is so great (@stefbabanul).
