Info:

Classic Windows File Manager is a file management application that was first introduced in Windows 3.0 in 1990. It was replaced by modern Windows Explorer in Windows 95, but there is still an active community of users who prefer the classic file manager.


The classic file manager is a simpler and less feature-rich application than modern Windows Explorer, but it is also faster and easier to use. It offers all the basic features you need to manage your files and folders, including copying, moving, deleting, renaming and creating files and folders.

If you are looking for a simple and fast file management application, Classic File Manager is a good option. It is particularly suitable for users who are familiar with the classic file manager interface.

However, if you need a more feature-rich file management application with modern features, you should use Modern Windows Explorer.

A note:

The classic file manager is no longer supported by Microsoft. If you have problems using Classic File Manager, you may be able to contact the community of third-party developers that emulate Classic File Manager.

Info:

If you need certain tasks or features that are only available in the classic Windows file manager, it makes sense to look for alternative third-party file management programs that can provide these features. There are some of these programs that mimic the style of the classic file manager and offer additional features.
