    Total Commander vs PowerDesk Pro opinions
    This alternative is disputed. Total Commander is still a legitimate alternative to PowerDesk Pro, but it might have issues that some users think are important.

    I don't like total commander as an alternative to PowerDesk as the two are nothing alike, opening a folder in a pane in PowerDesk shows the contents in a second column of that pane, this action in total commander just opens the folder the same explorer does. PowerDesk allows two double column panels either vertically or horizontally with dragging and dropping between all four columns. Total Commander is not even remotely similar.
