 That possibility CAN ONLY be done Tom, using the UPGRADE version of Win95.
 Those who purchase a new system with Win95 installed, or those who purchase
 Win95 the full version, (not the upgrade version), will not be able to
 utilize the old "File Mgr." Because, that feature is not available with
 Win95. The upgrade version to Win95 allows many of the old Win3xx files
 to operate with Win95.
 At first, I set up my Windows Explorer (Win95's version of File Mgr).
 the same way as I had my File Mgr. set up. I enjoyed being able to split
 the screen thereby giving me access to move files between different
 directories, or drives. One side of the screen was for drive C. The other
 for whichever drive I clicked on. So, I set up Win95's version the same
 way...Lo and behold, after exiting, I no longer had the setup anymore.
 It reverted back to only one screen setting! MOST ANNOYING!!!
 That was when I discovered that merely moving "WINFILE" to my START button
 gave me the old "File Mgr." back!
 Sincerely,
 Michael Sharon
