Winfile in Win 2000?

[cyclone2]

Just as the post with NT I would like to have file manager with win 2000 but cannot find it in Progman, windows system or anywhere- does it exist? start-run-winfile does not work

Just as the post with NT:

Start - Programs - Accessories - Windows Exlorer

or

Start - Run - type "explorer" - Ok

or

Press "e" while holding Windows key

I can get to explorer easily enough but I like to use winfile better ala win 3.1, 95 and 98 where you can find it in C:Windows as it allows quick looking at all drives etc

Oh, I see... Have you tried copying Winfile from Windows 98 installation?

Why do you want to use a 16 bit file mgr on win2k? To do this you need the stuff from win98+ some dll's. Then you need to reg these dll's at the risk of your win2k load.
Nevertheless, if you really want this, post reply and we'll get after this.(no guarantee on load stability after though).

Well I tried plugging in Winfile, winfile.ini and its .dll and Win 2000 gave the .dll a General Protection Fault (and didnt CRASH!) So its off to the future for me. It will force me to use explorer which Im sure is not a bad thing, Gotta teach this old dog some new tricks. Thanks for the help!
