Does anyone know of any freeware or open source file manager that comes anywhere close to Salamander that could be used as a replacement. Or can anyone existing users suggest any tweaks that could make it portable. I know distributing a portable version would be out of the question but any help would be much appreciated. Unfortunately it seems to rely rather heavily on the registry, it sometimes works, sometimes doesnt and seems to behave rather oddly all in all. Cheers

It's a perfect, fast file manager and the best twin panel type.
I use it from many years ago.

You might want to try out Free Commander. It is quite configurable and from what I could see, it could be a good choice for you.
Be sure to download the version PAF version (for easy portable install like the applications found here) or the portable Zip version (for self-install). It even has a U3 version for people who have that system already.
I've used Free Commander on portable hard drives, USB sticks, and portably (not "installed") on my computer's local hard drive.

...although I'm not sure about ALL that SS does, if you're simply looking for a great free FileMgr replacement which is fairly small and runs portably (not necessarily stealthily), try PowerDesk "trial" version (avanquest.com).
It's free - altho' not Open Source (so you'll never see it offered here) - and runs rings around just about every other File Mgr app I've ever tried.
My next recommendation would be "A43" (Google it), which is even smaller.
Happy Hunting!...
