Lightweight File Manager for use in a Windows Preinstallation Environment

Question

I need a free (preferabally open source) lightweight file manager for Windows that can run in a stripped down Windows Preinstallation Environment. It doesn't matter if it is text-based or GUI but must run in Windows PE.

As a side note, someone should create the tag: file-manager

Solution 1

Freecommander is what you are looking for. Its free and lighter than TC. http://www.freecommander.com

Solution 2

You could try Total Commander, which is Shareware. Supporting every major version of Windows, plus Android, it presents a side-by-side view of files and folders. There doesn't seem to be any pictures on the main site, but you can find a range here.

Given what this site is for, file-manager would be a better tag on SuperUser, if it's not there already.

Why the close votes? This deals with Windows Preinstallation environment, I think it's relevant to this site.

I agree that this question is appropriate for this site, I was just commenting that the tag would be much more common on SU.

Product recommendation questions are off-topic per the FAQ.

This is really a shopping question -- the best we can give you is a list of things, and Google will always be a more up-to-date list than anything we post...
