FreeCommander is an alternative to Windows Explorer. It allows us to work with files much faster and also offers a lot of additional features for more advanced users.
If the DVDs, USB sticks, phones, cameras or any other media and devices are automatically starting to play or open explorer windows and your don't want them to, this is how you tweak the AutoPlay settings.
Windows 8 also brings a very transparent tool for examining global indices, where you can also optionally keep track of the value of individual shares.
