TotalCommander for WM6?

[donvtx1300c]

I'm not liking the fact that I can't see filename extensions while browsing in File Explorer, so I searched this forum, and quickly learned of the freeware app called TotalCommander. Everyone on this forum that's using it seems to love this powerful app, which sounds like it will do what I want plus much more.

So I found the 2.5 version (which is the latest version I can find), downloaded it onto my HTC-PPC6800, and executed it. I immediately got a message that the program was not for portable PC devices. What gives? Is it that this version is only for WM5? Is there a later version out there that I just haven't found yet?

If I'm just not able to use TotalCommander, is there another similar app that I could install? I truly would like to accomplish two things...first, as I mentioned earlier, I would like to see filename extensions. Second, I would like for there to be a way for me to see the entire filename (or at the very least, a lot more than the dozen or so characters I can see now). I have many files that the first 15 or 20 characters are the same, and I can't tell the difference between them when I look them up on File Explorer!

Once again, I very much appreciate the help!

Try CE FileCommander 1.0.

Thanks so much for the reply...but unfortunately, that's the exact one I used! I removed it and re-copied it back to the phone (I created a folder called TotalCommander under the Program Files folder, and pasted it in there), and tried to install it again, but I got the same error message.

Any more ideas???

gsfinder works good....It shows the filename and the extentions...

I got Total Commander/CE v2.5 PB3 from here:
http://www.freewareppc.com/download/utilities/totalcommander.shtml

It's been working fine on my Mogul. I used the ActiveSync install.

If you're downloading the .exe, you have to run it on your PC, not your 6800.

yeah the reason you get that error could be because you are trying to run an activesync install pc exe on a pocketpc

[donvtx1300c]

No way! Wow...as I said...I'm a newbie to this!

Okay then...I ran the .exe on my PC and it said that it installed it on my portable PC device via ActiveSync, but there were no messages on my PPC6800, nor can I find any sign of TotalCommander.

I'm sure I've missed something...can someone tell me what it is???

[frankenbike]

You've installed the Activesync software that came with the phone, right?

You run the .exe

You sync your phone.

Then it installs when you sync.

Not sure how it works with Vista, but that's how it works with XP.

Frankenbike:

That was it!

I swear...there's like twenty different ways to install stuff on these WM devices, huh?

But it's in there and working like a champ!

Thanks to you and everyone else for your help with this!

(Whatever did we do before we had forums? Read the manual???)
