First of all apologies to the Mandrake list for posting here rather than a 
Win95 list, I figure that I've got a better chance of getting an answer 
here than on a MS list.

A very strange problem has surfaced this morning.  I have two machines on a 
LAN; Igor (a pentium ) and AbNormal (a K6-2/300).  Both machines run 
Win95.  AbNormal is my production Linux machine running Helios.  I had been 
running RedHat v4.1 on Igor.  I've just installed a new 20GB HD (not the 
one containing the boot sector) on Igor and installed Helios this morning 
on that drive, without any problems.  Now, whoever, if I try to use MS 
Explorer on Igor Win95 hangs while the Explorer is reading the C: 
VTOC.  The only response is CTRL-Alt-Del which opens the End Task window - 
clicking on end task really hangs Win95 and the only recourse is a warm boot.

Some more confusion.  If I start Win95 in safe mode Explorer works.  Also, 
If I access Igor from AbNormal over the LAN using Explorer on AbNormal I 
can see all of the directories on all three HD's on Igor.  I copied 
Explorer.exe from AbNormal to Igor and that didn't solve the problem.  I 
also started Win95 one command at a time and got no warning or error messages.

I would appreciate any help that anyone can give.  I really don't want to 
attempt the ultimate MS solution of reinstalling Win95.

Are there any substitute file managers for Win95?

Oh yes, finally, as far as I can tell everything is working on Igor.

Thanks in advance.
