Me personally... I still use XTree Gold for my file management. Even if it's
not Win95 Long Filename compat. I'll use ZTree if I need Win95 compatability,
which is not very often, since I tend to stick with 8.3 names.
There are plenty of things with Win95 FM that I can't stand. Not being able
to use filespecs, not being able to send files to a specific directory
ithout
having that directory open on the screen or without adding the specific
directory to the "SendTo" folder and Cut and Paste is not *my* idea of
convenience when it comes to files. Not having the file hilite scroll from
he
very right of a window down to the next file on the left of the window one
line down (This one should have been COMMON SENSE).
Your right though. It's better than Win3.1 FM...
