** I didn't say FILES - I said FOLDERS in Windows Explorer. Why are there 6
folders already in My Documents? I don't want or need them there. There's
another two at the bottom of the tree called Shared Documents and Owner
Documents. Shared? With who? Why two documents folders? And when you
check something in WE you can't GO BACK to the folder-tree but must close
the program and reopen it again - an annoying waste of time. Neither the UP
or Back button takes to back the the folder-tree. And there are 4 removable
disks in the tree - H,I, J and K..... believe me I like W98SE a lot more
than XP. The few things I do like is how easy and fast the digital camera
unloads and the thumbnails for pictures. That's about it. I can't use my
EZ-CD creator on this PC as it wont work on XP, nor will my little Intel
Cam. The XP 'find all files and folders' is slower than molasses. On W98
it's quick. I have a 2.6 Ghz processor on this PC with 512 MB ram and it
crawls compared to W98SE running on a PC with only 900 Mhz CPU and 256 MB
ram. I scandisk and do all the SAME maintenance on THIS PC with XP as we do
on the others.

** Stable in what way? We have very little trouble with W98 on our other
PCs. We maintained them with scan-disk, defrag, spy-bot (which wont work on
XP) Add-Aware and Norton System works (WinDr.). I have no idea what you
mean by flat.

** Whatever they are. We never saw any on our other PCs.
