When I use Emacs dired, it opens all the files inside emacs. How to make it execute .exe files, open pdf in pdf viewer, etc.
So it can’t be a replacement to Windows explorer and total commander.

I don’t use ‘dired’ myself, but this suggests you can run shell commands on the files.
The reference mentions using & or ! followed by the shell commands to perform the command on one or more files.
