Publisher's Description
From Dunes MultiMedia:
WinNc is a file manager that replaces the use of the existing Windows Explorer. Developed by a small Dutch multimedia company called Dunes MultiMedia, WinNc uses the same key shortcuts and the same mouse functionality as a well-known DOS file manager Norton Commander. Lots of tool buttons and menu items provide access to standard file-management methods. You can easily format, copy, move, delete, view, and edit files.
What's new in this version: Version 5.6.1 has fixed focus problem in project tabs buttons and blink in picture viewer removed.

"I have loved WINNC for years!"
Version: WinNc 4.8
Pros
I don't go anywhere without it. I bought a copy for my desktop and one for portable use. Of course I remove it after using at another computer. I tried using Q-Dir and even tho it is very nice and gives up to 4 screens, I still prefer WINNC.
Cons
Nothing at all.
Summary
I just love it.

"WindExplorer kept crashing, could save files and has mp3 ripper, file compressor"
Version: WinNc 4.4d
Pros
My windows explores was busted, any attempt to move, copy, rename etc files would trigger the "this program has encountered a problem and will terminate" message. im gonna reinstall windows to fix this, i ve only been working on this computer one week so i don't have too many files on it, but the ones i do have to save were busted because i couldn't move them! ahhh here comes this software to my aid, now i just move the files to a flash drive and bye bye old ******-up windows. Plus it has mp3 ripper and a file compressor that creates self extractors :) haven't try them though, maybe they are not available in the demo version.

Cons

"A Work in Progress"
Version: WinNc 4.4d
Pros
I used WinNC.Net for a day to Windows Explorer became unstable. This program did its job, allowing me to manage files through software other than the MS brand. There are a large number of excellent features here that would have taken me several days to sort and learn.
Cons
The developers probably should have focused on the ease of use for the most basic and common usages and perfected this before adding all those features. As described in an earlier review, files can not be dragged-and-dropped within the same frame. That is functionality which has been standard in Windows Explorer after (I think) Windows 3. That, however, is just one example. What really bothered me the most is that WinNC.Net assumes I will always be copying a file instead of moving one. I move files a *lot* more often to copying them, but to do so in WinNC.Net was a pain. I had to either type in the new location manually or else copy the file, reselect the original file, and then manually delete it. According to the Help File, I should press the Shift Key while dragging in order to move a file without copying. Guess what -- the Shift Key trick simply doesn't work. I'm certain there is a way to fix this entire mess by customizing the options to my preferences, but I can't find it.
I have switched to Xplorer2 freeware version, and I'm quite happy with that less robust but more usable file manager.

"Allround computer and file manager"
Version: WinNc 4.4d
Pros
It's a very handy tool for lots of things; i especially like the functions for the different types of file compression and unpacking (zip, rar etc.), but also for musicfiles like conversion of mp3 and wav files. The synchronization of the content of directories and maps, ftp-interface and pictureviewer are also nice. The rest of the program has a comparable functionality as Windows Explorer, only with a better interface due to the two screens which make the copy, replace and all other filehandling very easy and synoptic. Automatic updates come in frequently.
Cons
It's inconvenient to work on a computer without WinNc, because on my own computer it has become my central workspace for almost everything. I don't appreciate Explorer anymore...
I complained at their helpdesk for the problem of replacing large directories at once (more than 20GB), but after 6 hours I got answered their working on that in next version. With all the pro's this is just a small and temporary con.

"one word: fantastic"
Version: WinNc 4.4d
Pros
I cant tell everything I like about Winnc because there is not enough space! I am a heavy user of Winnc, the first thing I do when I start my computer is hit the Winnc button. Ive worked with this program for a couple of years and cant even work without it anymore.
The basic features of Winnc are the best; copy, past, move, zip and so on. I also use the photo viewer a lot, to organize and watch my pictures and burn them
Very easy and quick access to my network drives, shortcuts to important maps and drives
These are only some basic features but defiantly worth buying for.
Cons
I have only one problem with Winnc or better said without Winnc. Because Ive used it for so long, I really cant work without it anymore. When I am working on a computer without Winnc and I am forced to work with explorer a cant find anything, this helps me reminder how good Winnc is! I absolutely dont understand how people can work with explorer, probably because they havent worked with Winnc yet!
