Total Commander is the software for file management. The customized settings and layout (two columns) I suggested was as follows:

~~{{Software version| software=Total Commander | url=http://www.ghisler.com/ | version=7.55a }}~~

== Quick to rename file name with F2 ==

== Quick to rename the file name with the hotkey F2 ==

=== Configuration ===

{{Software version| software=Total Commander | url=http://www.ghisler.com/ | version=10.00 }}

Step 1: Configuration --> Options --> Operation: Select only the file name when renaming (not the extension)
