I have used PowerDesk for many years, both the free and the
pay versions.
It does the job. I can really see what I have and can see
easily what I have to do.
The pay version has a great Synchronize tool that I find
useful to move files to a flash disk for travel.
Icons make it too easy to loose track of where you are.
I send much time holding hands with several friends. I
install the free version of Powerdesk, Belarc Advisor,
Adaware, a free or pay anti-virus and then a firewall like
ZoneAlarm or BlackIce,
