Norton Commander was one of the most popular and influential file management applications ever released for MS-DOS. Introduced in 1986, it featured an innovative, dual-pane interface that allowed users to perform tasks like copying, deleting, moving, and previewing files with ease, eliminating the need to type every command manually. This side-by-side window setup was both intuitive and powerful, quickly becoming a favorite among DOS users for managing files more efficiently. The final version for DOS, Norton Commander 5.51, was released in 1998, marking the end of an era for this pioneering software.

Use Midnight Commander if you want a similar experience.

If you want to use it on Windows 10 just download preferably buy Total Commander. Functionally almost exactly the same but works natively with Windows 10.

art travis you'll never be able to use NC in Windows 10. You should go download FreeCommander.

When I first saw how DOS worked, I was not too impressed. A lot of strong typing. When I saw Norton Commander, I was hooked. I still use it (Total Commander these days), way faster than clicking with one mouse-finger, you use ten fingers and shortcuts to move files around, cut trees and ZIP files. It is fantastic !
