This is simply great! A lot like WinMerge but with a different purpose. No more opening numerous windows, etc... everything is right here. Just what the doctor ordered!

Just what windows XP explorer should have been. No bells or whistles, just does the job. Very nice interface as well. One to keep.

I used all available file commanders: Norton, ExplorerXP, FreeCommander, A43 and PowerDesk included but Pablo quickly became my daily factotum. It is small, simple, intuitive, neat, fast, reliable and straightforward. It lacks useless bells and whistles. It can be mastered in less than five minutes. No install, so take it or kill it. I will bet you leave it. One small drawback: Pablo always comes up full screen. It cannot remember its last windows size but one can live with that.

This is a fantastic program and a great replacement for Norton Commander. I have been looking for a Norton replacement since LFN popped up on Win32 platforms. All the commands (I use) for Norton are there. No need to install! All I need is my utility CD and I can run Pablo Commander. This is nice when you want to tweak a system without adding software (and all the little associated support files and DLLs) My use of NC was always task (and often emergency) driven. So, it is great to have a familiar set of commands and the functions that Pablo Commander has to offer. My only regret is that I did not find Pablo Commander earlier. Great Job.

Pablo Commander is intuitative and easy to use - for us Norton freaks. Keep working on this one. Standalone program - no installation needed.
