Is there a faster way?
Yes! Total Commander
• A file manager which displays two panels
• Same functionality as Windows Explorer [copy, cut, paste, delete, rename, etc.]
• …but easier to use and more powerful
Also:
• Very popular in many parts of the world
• Multi-language: e.g. Chinese, Russian, Romanian, Indonesian, etc

#1 TC – Save Space on Screen (1)
• To copy a file from one folder to another
• In Windows Explorer we usually open twice ‘My Computer”, one for source place and one for the destination:

#1 TC – Save Space on Screen (2)
To copy a file from one folder to another
• TC comes already with two panels, which occupy less room than two instances of “My Computer” [Windows Explorer]

#1 TC – Save Space on Screen (3)
• TC can help organize file info better, by displaying Folder Tabs. Folder Tabs offer two main advantages:
• Save “real estate” on screen,
• Increase productivity: navigate easier back & forth among the folders used frequently. TC “remembers” which tabs were left open last time, so we don’t need to open them again each morning

e H e a l t h S t r a t e g y O ffi c e
#2 TC – Productivity (1)
• History: each tab keeps a history of visited places, making easy to navigate back to a certain place

Multiple renaming: Format file names + append their last update [useful for versioning]:
E.g.: bradut s.jpg -> Bradut S - 20111108.jpg
Anonymise file names:E.g.: bradut s.jpg -> Image 1.jpg

#2 TC – Productivity (3)
Synchronize directories [folders]:
• Easily compare files from two folders to see which ones are newer or of different sizes. Useful when multiple people share documents in a common folder but also work on copies kept on their personal folders.
