Best Free Advanced Explorer for Windows Mobile – Total Commander

For some reasons the original explorer in the windows mobile disallow you to modify or delete some of the system files in ROM especially in the windows folder, therefore I’m looking for an alternative solution.

The best explorer so far in the industry (in my opinion) is the “Resco Explorer” but it is not a freeware! So, what should you do? At last, I found the free one and it is called “Total Commander” and I have been using for quite some times. I’m satisfied with it but may not be as good as “Resco Explorer” but it is still better than nothing.

Some common advanced features of Total Commander:

• Zip and unzip (File -> Pack with ZIP )
• Properties dialog, change attributes (File -> Properties)
• Useful to hide files or folder that you don’t want to let other to see
• Search function including text content (File ->Find files)
• FTP client (Access through \\Plugins\ftp)
• Registry Editor (Access through \\Plugins\registry)
• LAN access (Access through \\Plugins\LAN)

It is not as user friendly as Resco Explorer but it is the best free advanced explorer that I have ever used so far.

You can visit the official Total Commander page and download Total Commander here for pocket PC or Windows Mobile.

Should I Install Safari Web Browser?

If you have installed “Quick Time Player”, most likely they will install the “Apple Software Update” tool as well which force you to download and install safari web browser. This is the thing I hate Apple, why keep popping up dialog box and force me to install your web browser? *sign*

Honestly, Safari is famous in screwing up its security and I would recommend you NOT to use it. In my opinion, there are only 3 options that you should only consider:

1. Firefox
2. Internet Explorer
3. Google Chrome.

That’s it. Don’t install safari web browser because it doesn't safe. If you find the notification annoying, you can disable it from Edit->Preference... menu and in the schedule tab, choose never.
