PInvoke.net: the interop wiki
I came across Vanara not long ago, very comprehensive library set to avoid importing/declaring everything yourself: dahall/Vanara: A set of .NET libraries for Windows implementing PInvoke calls to many native Windows APIs with supporting wrappers.

Looking for ideas about securing automated scripts.
This is an advanced concept and should be contemplated if you feel confortable with C# programming. You can extend the Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI). Check the development documentation. Use Vanara to extend the functionality.

Should you use c# for memory manipulation
I have a lot of C# P/Invoke / interop experience. Almost everything is possible in C#, I swear. Just keep in mind that C/C++ users have Windows.h include (meta-include which references thousands of another useful includes) that contain every single public fuction, structure or enum definition, i. e. you just go ahead and use it (while having to link against necessary libs correctly ofc). When you do the same thing in C# you have to P/Invoke through all this stuff by yourself. Consider taking a look at Vanara.PInvoke (https://github.com/dahall/Vanara), these packages might help you a lot in case you do not want to dive that deep.
- Would you want/use an improved interface to native Win32 APIs for .NET?

One Commander – a new Windows 10 file browser
Interesting that it was built in .Net and appears to be using WPF with a few improvements[1].
It also refers to Vanara[2] which looks interesting as a safe utility wrapper to the Windows API.

The case of the jump into the middle of an instruction from nowhere (2023)
Well yeah, I mean no one forces you to use Explorer for file management under Windows. I'm an old-time Norton Commander user, and when Windows came around I switched to Total Commander. There are open-source alternatives too, even cross-platform ones, like this one: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/.
That being said, no one forces you to use Windows either - except maybe your employer or the software you are using, but this is getting less and less of a problem fortunately (web apps, ).

Total Commander
I've been looking for a Linux alternative ever since I mostly switched away from Windows a few years ago, and so far this one is the best FOSS alternative I found: https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/ - it's even written in Pascal, same as TC.

Modern graphical file explorer
For me, a file manager simply has to work and offer a certain range of functions. That's why I use Double Commander myself. Is this tool modern in the sense that it is visually appealing? Or in the sense that it is created with a programming language that is currently popular? Definitely not.

Windows Explorer EXTREMELY Slow
For backing up files it might be worth using a different file management interface such as Double Commander(free) but is not particularly fast, MultiCommander or My Commander (free) which is supposed to be very fast.

Ask HN: Are people still using Pascal in 2023?
Indeed, it's built with Free Pascal and Lazarus.
- There is a great, free (not fake free, but really free) bulk file re-namer utility that everyone should know about. You can re-name hundreds of files in seconds which is good if things are named stupidly or you just like conformity.

I'm not familiar with it. Currently, all I know about it is: "Double Commander is a free cross platform open source file manager with two panels side by side.", Double Commander
