Let see if we can continue what was started here as off-topic....
George was showing how he runs its machine without the windows explorer shell, just with cmd.exe!
There are quite some things we can add, or that you may want to add to that!
One thing is cygwin, an unix like environment over windows(to keep the explanation simple)
You can also run a different shell other than explorer, Geoshell for example! See more here!
Then there are plenty of utilities to trace and help understand what your windows machine is doing...look at sysinternals NT/2K/XP page for some good ones!

... ...the price is right, free
... ...there are possible consequences to installing programs like these... ...especially on a crappy O/S like Windows
... ...I will need keep a close eye on things... ...before I install any of them, a backup is the first thing on the list
... ...mind you I have 3 partitions I can boot from
or any kind (most of the programs including notepad itself are garbage)... ...all my editing is done with "THE.exe"... ..."THE.exe" does run with Rexx
... ...I'm going to reBOOT and run a backup before I do anything else... ...mind you, I can still post when I'm in that partition... ...all of them know where the common partition dedicated for e-Mail is...
others...
