Have you ever wanted to "Explore" your options? Explorer ain't the only game in town. Many of you already know about LiteStep, but there's something a little closer to home sitting on your hard drive. Remember Windows 3.1's Program Manager? You still have it! You can run PROGMAN.EXE at any time -- even replace the Explorer shell with that old dog. Before going any further, be sure you know what you're doing. If you don't, then stop right now. Novices need not apply. Open your SYSTEM.INI file, then change "shell=Explorer.exe" to "shell=Progman.exe" (or any other possible 'shell' program). Experiment, but be sure you know how to reverse your actions.
