Are you talking about a program to browse files, or=20 administer your hard disk(s) partions? Both gnome and kde come with file=20 browsers.

This is probably not a very helpful answer, in choosing between gnome and= kde,=20 kde (for me personally) won because the kde mail client is very nice! You= =20 could probably run the kde mail client under gnome...
