File manager / OS: Windows 10

Multi Commander is a multi-tabbed file manager and is an alternative to the standard Windows "File Explorer".
It uses the very popular and efficient dual-panel layout.

Note:  "File Explorer", previously known as "Windows Explorer", is a file manager application 
that is included with releases of the Microsoft Windows operating system from Windows 95 onwards.
