Speaking of Total Commander,
Total Commander CE is the way to go. It has 90% of Resco File Explorer features, but the best part is: it's 100% cheaper! :D
Features:
• Copy, Move whole subdirs
• Inplace rename, create dirs
• Delete (no recycle bin)
• Zip and unzip
• Properties dialog, change attributes
• Built-in text editor
• Search function (also for text)
• Select/unselect groups of files
• Brief, full and large icons mode
• Single or two file window mode
• Option to hide all files in ROM
• Directory hotlist as in Total Commander
• Directory history through dropdown list
• Tree view
• Configurable button bar
• Simple help function
This is what File Explorer should have been.
