7 things your file manager should be able to do that File Explorer and Finder can’t

Extensive exploration of file managers for Windows and macOS reveals significant shortcomings in the native solutions provided by Microsoft and Apple. Users are missing features that could enhance file management, including: - A recent folders list that updates in real-time, unlike Windows File Explorer, which updates slowly. - Quick file previews, with Finder allowing previews of nearly any file type, while File Explorer's Preview pane is limited. - A built-in duplicate finder, which neither File Explorer nor Finder currently offers. - More user-friendly bulk file renaming in Finder compared to the cumbersome process in File Explorer. - Customizable toolbars in alternative file managers, improving accessibility and workflow efficiency. - A quick jump bar for swift navigation, which is more immediate in applications like File Pilot than in File Explorer. - A dual-pane view for easier file transfers and comparisons, absent in both Windows and macOS. These features highlight the potential for improved file management solutions beyond the built-in tools.

Windows 11 fully streamlined in just two clicks? Talon utility promises to rip all the bloatware out of Microsoft’s OS in a hassle-free way

Talon is a debloating tool for Windows 11 developed by Raven, designed to simplify the process of removing unnecessary software and features. It allows users to achieve a streamlined experience with just two clicks, offering various debloat options, including a basic removal and tailored profiles like 'Gaming' that install popular platforms such as Discord and Steam. Talon automates the debloating process, making it accessible to less tech-savvy users, and utilizes established tools like ChrisTitusTech’s WinUtil and Raphi’s Win11Debloat. The tool's code is open source, promoting transparency and user safety. Users are advised to consider the risks of third-party applications while also having access to alternative resources for manual decluttering.
