yea total commander is a nice program if ur a power user or own a website. I say if ur gonna do reg edits being a n00b stick to phm reg edit it allows u to back up the registry before makin changes which can be nice to have. but if u ftp to a site, zip program (already in new rom), a better file explorer, and all around useful tool then stick with tc. the picture hack is simple. download the .cab from the first link and install. ur done.
