| Great Poll tahoejeff! 
I usually let Windows do the tasks... but if I get a problem file/folder, I use FreeCommander.

Thanks for the poll, tahoejeff ! Good job.
In Windows I much prefer ExplorerXP - that's saved me a LOT of time doing bulk editing. In Linux I use whatever comes with the distro, most often Konqueror or Nautilus.

Great poll - I voted Total Commander, been using for many years.
XYplorer (»www.xyplorer.com) is fast becoming a favourite with many people it was even discussed and raved about in a recent podcast where it got software pick of the week... »www.twit.tv/ww37

Windows explorer when in Windows and Thunar when in Linux. Can't really see any reason to use something different in either?
Don't know about a "great" poll, but different!

I've always used Windows Explorer, but with Vista's version of Explorer being more diabolical (things just seem to be buried deeper in it), would a third-party file manager be a better choice?

The Finder
A couple days ago it would have definitely been Windows Explorer. Now, my favorite choice is the Finder, which was massively improved in its latest revision (and boy, did it need it!).
Followed by:
2nd - Windows Explorer
3rd - Nautilus (Ubuntu 7.10)
