Hello !
- That you wish to know is as so easy to solve as the quadrature of the circle
- What criterion might be considered as preferential?
• The sold licences number ?
- That could give an idea roughly… But it's faked : more a file-manager is good, more it's cracked / hacked / copied…
- Moreover, not sure that the Authors or their Companies would provide such informations
• The registration fee ?
- Not significant at all ! TC is
much cheaper than
some others, not multilingual and having paying updates !
- And not a so big bunch of tools / plugins / various addons, the most being freewares… And / or / limited trial periods, limited features as trial versions, while TC has not…
- In competitors' programs, you could find a point here and there
better than TC (
better being a quite subjective epithet in many cases !)
- Globally, TC is still in head, in my opinion.
• The worldwide diffusion?
- With regard to the number of languages in which TC is translated, you can place it again at the head of your list !
I guess, a wild guess

windows explorer is the dominating filemanager.
- What a good joke !
¤ This is an item you are bound to have since the 9x versions and newer, because it's the shell, and isn't possible to change that, except if you are an expert !
- With old Win 3.x, you could change the shell easily, even use W/TC as the shell…
- Here, we are talking of file-managers -even competitors sometimes-, not of
a thing you can't avoid to get when purchasing any recent Windows™

Kind regards,
Claude
