I always start on this site looking for questions to a specific answer and get cought up reading for hours on something else and never get around to the initial reason I was logging on!!

Anyways I did it again and looked at downloads, and thought That total Commander looked interesting. Now I have it on my AX, but don't have a clue where to learn how to use it?

Anyone out there familiar with it?

I also wanted to download the missile game since I am bored with solitaire but was prompted by "select program to use to open with" Any ideas what I should select?

Thanks for any advice!

I have it and love it.
You must download to pc and unzip to install on axim via active sync.
After active sync - you will have shotcut in the programs in your start menu. If you downloded to axim - delete it first.

Total Commander is good for freeware file exploring.

It is a better "File Explorer" than the one that comes with the OS. In my opinion. More features to work with copying/moving/pasting (manipulating) files.

I am not sure how I downloaded this but it is in my programs menu. when I open it it lists some folders, ie., built in storage, my documents program files etc..

How do I down load it to the pc then put in active sync? sorry to press for details but am not sure how to go about it.

When you say "it is in my programs menu," do you mean on the Axim? If so, you don't need to get it on your PC. It runs on the PPC. What Mike was describing was how to do the installation. As others have pointed out, it's basically a 'better' file explorer. You can use it for finding/opening files/programs, cutting, pasting, copying, moving, etc. It also has a better networking tool than the built in file explorer.
