I liked Windows 3.1

Yes, but then I just have a collection of folders, and I have to open them whenever I start Windows (did I mention that there are some I'd like to have open all the time?), and it also comes with all that other baggage: menus, address bar, etc., which I can turn off, but then stupid XP sets all my folders to this style, even WHEN I DON'T SELECT "Apply To All Folders". :mad: Argh!

hee hee hee. But seriously, I liked being able to organize icons (as in, shortcuts--remember those PIF files) into groups, which were really windows, instead of having them scattered all around my desktop. Yes, I can organize them into groups on my desktop, but I want to be able to collectively get rid of groups that I'm not going to use for the work I'm currently doing. I've tried those "multiple desktop" apps, but I don't like them. Is there anything like this for the "modern" Windows OS's? Marc Obviously it is not all Muslims.

Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.Wow. I absolutely hated Win3.1, and was glad to be rid of the Program Manager. But to each is own. However, you just reminded me of my favorite aspect of OS/2's Presentation Manager: All folders acted the same, and the desktop was just another folder. This was great, as it allowed you to group related documents and programs into a folder, open them up, and then when you were done just close the folder - all the programs and documents opened from that folder would then close also. This single feature worked as well for me as any IDE on other platforms - i'd dump my source code into a folder, open up the ones i wanted to edit in the E editor, and away i'd go. When i quit for the day, i'd close the folder, and the next day open it again and resume where i'd left off. Ah, the memories... Shog9 ------
Rather hammer futiley at the locked door than just sit and ignore it. Obviously finding a way to get through the locked door would be even better though. - Paul Watson, My Ignorance

Now he only needs to find a Trumpet Winsock, use Netscape 2.xx (it had forms!) and he can browse CP in Win3.1! Your incessant rantings indicate you have a brain the size of a pea, and the mental capacity of a bag of hammers. - John Simmons
