I tried light step and ice step (or something with the word ice in it), nothing really intrigued me. There's LOTS of them out there, I just can't live without my start menu (desktop has two icons on it as it is)

Almost forgot, both worked in 2k. Light Step is probably your best bet

Edit: Just remembered, it was IceSphere

I use PowerDesk by OnTrack. I'm not sure if it supports MM tho.

I use a program called 2xExplorer. You can read about it and download the program here:

2xExplorer

From the "program features" section of the web site; "It is a modern version of Norton Commander
2xExplorer is every bit as efficient, useable and addictive as NC, without being a verbatim copy of the original masterpiece. The design and operation borrows many new improvements brought by the latest win32 desktop "philosophy", improving the ease of use:

Full drag/drop and shell context menu support, for integration with the desktop
Separable tree view; one can have both the tree view and the two contents panes visible at the same time
Multifunctional address bar, for specifying folder names and visual filters, plus for running windows or DOS applications.
Dockable Thumbnail bar, for previewing popular graphics formats (jpg, bmp, gif, etc.) plus HTML and M/S Office documents.
Efficient navigation, supporting bookmarks, folder history and internet-style back/next folder navigation.
Shell namespace browser, allowing the browsing of non-filesystem folders like ControlPanel etc. If you install a shell extension for FTP and/or ZIP content browsing, 2xExplorer will integrate with that too.
Autocompletion for paths and other frequently typed information. "
