WinNc is a file manager for Windows 7, Vista,XP, 2003, 2000, ME and 9x. (Norton Commander Clone).
File management is always a big issue when it comes to using today's operating systems. Most people nowadays use good old Windows Explorer for routine file management. They cut, copy, and paste day in and day out, scrolling from one folder or drive to another the best that they can.
Maybe you miss the old days of File Manager where you could see dual views of your directories or drives. Or even better, what about Norton Commander, the trusty file management tool that could do it all with shortcut keys.
The following review written by one of the Software Informer contributors applies to version 4.7
WinNc is a file manager for Windows XP and Vista, like the well-known Norton Commander. The whole idea about this product is to manage files in a more graphical and handy way than in Windows Explorer. WinNc uses the same keys as Norton Commander - so if you ever used the latter, you will get comfortable with WinNc very soon.
WinNc allows you to copy, paste, delete, rename, move, edit, calculate the size of a folder, synchronize folders, compare text files, encrypt, split and merge files, give you system information, find a given file, compress and decompress files (even creating self-extracting files, or sending the archives by email). This program also acts as a complete FTP client, allowing you to upload files to an FTP server, or download files from it. You can connect to a network drive, assigning a letter to it. Along with those functions, the program allows you to extract MP3 from audio CDs, create MP3 playlists and compress WAV files to MP3.
When you install the program, it will open a Configuration Wizard, that will ask you to define some parameters, such as the interface style you would like to use, how you will control the contextual menu, how often the program is supposed to look for updates, and what compression utilities it is to use. Of course, you can change any of these parameters later. |
