What's your preferred File Manager
Darwin:
Jim - hope you are able to work this out. On other fronts, I get that 30 or so second delay the first time I start TC (or TC UP) in a windows session and then it settles down... It's quite annoying (and I can only imagine what it must be like to have DOpus do that EVERY time you inbvoke the context menu). I'm going to try a tip I've rediscovered that superboyac gave me about this back in May or so: press and hold down the RIGHT mouse button to invoke the context menu (presumably without the setting enabled that Dirhael provided). Yup, it works and I'm right that it works with that setting disabled. There is still a pause but it's not nearly as bad.
EDITED for clarity (did I succeed :o?!)

I also have a license for SpeedCommander 12, and I've never had a problem with that one either. -Dirhael (January 22, 2008, 06:52 PM)

I tried SpeedCommander. Right off the bat, SpeedEdit really has issues with non-Latin characters. Notepad can handle it. That seems to be the end of story for SC for me.

Strange how you appear to run into these issues, seeing as I just tested editing a textfile with Japanese and Korean characters in it after reading you post and I most certainly do not have any problems with it. Besides, even if there should be a problem with SpeedEdit, in what possible way does that tell you anything about the file manager itself? Sure, if you couldn't use Notepad from SpeedCommander I could somewhat understand it but seeing as you can...well, I just don't see where you're trying to go with this.

What's your system default encoding? Western European? Maybe that's why the difference.

Isn't SpeedEdit part of the product, which by the way isn't free. If part of the product for which I would pay doesn't work, I do care. That's where I am going.

I'm located in Norway so non-unicode programs will default to Norwegian (which would be latin-1). None of the languages I mentioned (Japanese, Korean, Chinese ++) is included in this locale.

Sure it's part of the product, but it is not part of the file manager itself. Windows is in no way free, and it comes with a lousy picture manager, a sub-par file manager, a merely average browser, a useless defrag tool +++ but all that doesn't mean that the OS itself is useless, even though I actually paid for all of the things it includes. Why? Because none of the things I just mentioned really have any direct influence on the main purpose of an OS.
EDIT: Just to clarify though, I do think you should care about whether or not an included part of the product works just as you want it to seeing as you're paying for it, but in this case I don't see it as an important part of the program.
Anyway, if you encountered a problem, why not report the problem to the developer and see if they can fix it? I'm sure they will as long as someone actually let's them know about it.
