Not bad but you can't use native apps in a Metro tile.

You would have to write a Metro launcher for Total Commander - but I don't know whether Metro apps can launch Desktop apps...

You can associate TC with an otherwise unused extension, e.g. .TotalCommander. Then use this launcher class:

to launch
c:\path\dummy.TotalCommander
