Turbo Navigator

A simple search on the Internet can provide the answer to many issues, even if it implies finding an alternative to conventional file managers. Turbo Navigator is an easy to use file manager designed to replace the traditional Windows Explorer, while offering an intuitive interface and an impressive pack of features.

The moment you launch the app is also the one that proves you that Windows Explorer is only an old-fashioned way of managing files, as Turbo Navigator provides a two-panel interface with full drag and drop support.

Right clicking on any file or folder stored on your computer opens the classic Windows Context Menu, but the application also comes with a built-in file viewer that allows you to open text and binary files.

It also features dedicated tools to handle multimedia formats such as WAV, MID, AVI and MP3, while also comprising an advanced favorite manager to save your favorite locations for quick access.

Other than that, Turbo Navigator shows transfer speed and detailed folder description, while a dedicated “Change Attributes” screen allows you to modify the attributes of any file or folder on your computer with just a few clicks.

Truth is, this isn't the best looking file manager we've seen, but Turbo Navigator still does its job very well, while remaining very light on hardware resources all the time. As for the file copying process, it goes blazing fast, with a minor slowdown noticed when dealing with larger files.

Overall, Turbo Navigator is clearly a useful file manager, but it still needs a bunch of improvements to be able to cope with today's user requirements. It's a good choice though, especially if you wish to get rid of the old-fashioned Windows Explorer.
