Turbo Navigator is freeware file manager for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003. It works as Windows Explorer but it uses two file panels, as in Symantec's Norton Commander which is a commercial file manager for DOS and Windows.

Some of the features include:

  • Full Drag and Drop capability
  • Built-in file viewer for text, RTF and binary files
  • System Tree View for both panels - able to mimic Windows Explorer
  • Advanced change attributes capability (recurse subdirectories, ability to change system attribute, ability to change created/modified/accessed file time/date stamp)
  • Copy speed display
  • Advanced filtering capability (in file panels and in basic operations like copy, move and delete)
  • Built-in favourites for quick directory change
  • Ability to wipe the files from the disk so they can not be undeleted
  • Fully customisable colours in the file panels
  • Built-in Media Player for quick preview of WAV, MID, MP3, AVI, MPG and other supported file formats
  • Detailed, yet simple user interface
  • Full Clipboard support including file name and file path copy
  • Built-in strong encryption capability for quick file encryption
  • Advanced selection mechanism
  • Detailed directory info display with graph
  • Comparing directories on two panels

Major lacks:

  • No help files provided
  • No ability to compress/decompress files
  • Currently, the software appears to have been abandoned by its creator.

Note: Versions 1.47 and 1.471 are for Windows 2000, NT, XP, 2003 only. Version 1.46 works with all Windows versions.
