Explorer is that thing that provides your basic user interface to Microsoft Windows. It is analogous, though not identicle, to X Window System's idea of window manager. Explorer can be replaced. Here, an url is worh a thousand bytes: http://docs.geoshell.com/R4?pagename=ReplacementShellForWindows The one I was thinking of, specifically, that I had used is LiteStep. -john Microsoft is very good and sowing confusion amongst people. Explorer.exe is the shell, called Explorer. There is the standard file management utility, called File Explorer. There is also the standard web browser, called Internet Explorer. Often, the first is ignored because people have no idea it can be replaced. The fist is the one I refer to. -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
