Double Commander is great and in my opinion better then then Total Commander - it has better UI, saner configuration and is cross platform and FOSS. DC is first thing I install on any Windows machine instead of using Explorer. If you want quick way to install it and/or TC on Windows, along with selection of plugins, use my chocolatey TCP [1] packages. You can use cinst doublecmd tcp cinst totalcommander tcp to install doublecmd or totalcommander with around 20 great plugins and keep them all up to date with single command (choco update), or you can cherry pick individual plugins. Since both file managers use the same plugin format, the package will work with whatever one you use. Both packages have parameter /DefaultFM which will make system open it everywhere where it would open Explorer instead. There are also dark and minimial themes I created you may want to check: tcp-unlit and dcp-unlit [2] Everything is on GitHub in case you want to improve [3] [1]: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/tcp#dependencies https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/tcp#dependencies [2]: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/dcc-unlit https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/dcc-unlit [3]: https://github.com/majkinetor/au-packages/tree/master/tcp https://github.com/majkinetor/au-packages/tree/master/tcp
