Hello,  Robert.   
      
    BK>   I was looking into simplified XP, with directions for removing   
    BK>   windows explorer and replacing it with a substitute. According to   
    BK>   the sites I looked at Explorer is a memory hog. Some of the   
    BK>   substitutes, actually most, do not have a start button. I have   
    BK>   been trying one of the subs, Litestep, but haven't had enough   
    BK>   time to evaluate it. The sites also suggest using program   
    BK>   manager, progman.exe, as the shell. Haven't worked that out yet.   
      
   	I never use Explorer. That is the Windows Explorer. I will use Internet   
   Explorer. In searching in my C:\, I will  do the path myself, I have some idea   
   of where what is where and I can click my own way to it. Windows Explorer has   
   been renamed "File Explorer" in the new W-8. More to the point, IMHO.
