There are many file managers for Windows 3.1x
But none tha i have found show executable icons.

Only Calmira, that is a Windows 9x user interface wannabe.

Maybe something comes in your mind?

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

I think I will check if Martin Fuch's ROS-Explorer can be coaxed into it with win32s installed.

I'll get back to you...

In the meantime, there seems to have been made a GUI Midnight Commander like clone for 3x, called Windows Commander

I cannot vouch for it, but it definitely shows executable icons.

That's the legendary Total Commander, from before Microsoft went all "akchully..." about the title (it also happens to have started before Midnight Commander).
