The most windows like file manager that I have seen is called
"Endeavour". Search google for Endeavour Mark II -- which is the
latest version. You will probably have to compile it yourself but
some people I know use it extensively. Personally I generally use
"emelfm" a simple 2-pane gtk based file manager - very light weight!
