| - A file manager or file browser is a computer program that provides a user interface to work with file systems. The most common operations performed on files or groups of files are: create, open, edit, view, print, play, rename, move, copy, delete, search/find, and modify file attributes, properties and file permissions. Files are typically displayed in a hierarchy. Some file managers contain features inspired by web browsers, including forward and back navigational buttons.

- Ian Ellison-Taylor was the shell developer on the Windows 3.1 team responsible for File Manager and Print Manager. The program's interface showed a list of directories (later called folders) on the left side, and a list of the current directory's contents on the right side. File Manager allowed a user to create, rename, move, print, copy, search for, and delete files and directories, as well as to set permissions such as read-only or hidden, and to associate file types with programs. Also available were tools to label and format disks and to connect and disconnect from a network drive. On Windows NT systems it was also possible to set ACLs on files and folders on NTFS partitions through the shell32 security configuration dialog (also used by Explorer and other Windows file managers).

It will give your gOS system much more of an Mac OS X "finder" feel. DO THIS NOW! It's the best thing you can do to get a much more useable gOS system First, start up the "Synaptic package manager", to install Thunar, and give your password. Search for "thunar", if you don't find it, you need to enable more repositories, so choose Settings > repositories, and select all repositories up-to "gutsy-updates, and do an "apply" to add them. Now if you search for thunar you should get a list that includes "Thunar" with as description "File Manager for Xfce", If you don't you just have not selected all the needed repositories, so go back, and add all the repositories you can. Now select (put a mark in front of) Thunar, and click on apply. Answer any other questions Synaptics asks to install Thunar. After a while Synaptics will have installed Thunar for you, and you can close Synaptics. After you installed it, you can find thunar under the menu entry Applications>Accessories>Thunar File Manager You are now ready to use it! But perhaps you want to ass an icon (shortcut) to the desktop, just like "My Gos", well that too can be arranged, it's quite simple with Thunar (and almost impossible to do with EFM). Open a thunar window, and click on "file system" in the box on the left. Now click on "usr" then "share" then "applications". You will see a lot of icons, one for each installed application. Find the "thunar", icon, which looks like Thor's hammer with a red ribbon tied around its handlebar (Thor is a viking god, and "thunar" is it's legendary "lightening hammer"). Now right-click on it, and choose. Send To > Desktop And it will appear on the desktop, its that easy with Thunar! Note, Thunar will not be able to open (mount) your memory sticks, if you connect one, so you still need "My gOS" (the EFM file manger) for that. Use EFM to "mount", the memory stick, by clicking on its icon from within EFM, after which you can minimise EFM to get it out of the way. Now you -can- use Thunar to access the files on the memory stick, by selecting it in the left sidebar of Thunar. Its a bit of a kludge for the time being, hopefully Thunar (or something resembling it) will be integrated into gOS soon. Note that Thunar knows how to launch programs and pass them the "file to play" correctly, so if you want to play that MPG file, now you can by double-clicking on it. Even Xine will play along with Thunar, and plays it without problems! Have fun with thunar! ====

On Windows NT systems it was also possible to set ACLs on files and folders on NTFS partitions through the shell32 security configuration dialog (also used by Explorer and other Windows file managers). The 16-bit version had a Y2K issue due to lexicographic correlation between dates and the ASCII character set; colons and semicolons replaced what should have been '2000'. From Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 onward, File Manager was superseded by Windows Explorer. However, the program was included with Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 Windows 98, and Windows Me. The WINFILE.EXE file was not included in Windows 2000 or subsequent versions of Windows NT. It is possible to run File Manager under Windows 2000 and Windows XP by extracting a copy from a Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM. The Windows NT version of File Manager allows users to change file and directory permissions. This is not possible with Windows Explorer on Windows XP Home Edition as users are restricted to Simple File Sharing (unless running in Safe Mode). File Manager cannot run natively under Windows Vista, because the latter does not include COMMCTRL.DLL. It is possible to use File Manager as the Windows shell, in place of Program Manager or Explorer.
