Ok, for all of you who responded about hDC FirstApps and 
WindowsExpress, this is the basic responses about each:

FirstApps:
           Neat toys.  Especially the desktop animator.
    However, really scarf up memory, and only work decently
    in a 386 with >2megs.  Also, very buggy (lots of abnormal
    program termination type errors).

WindowsExpress:
           Serious potential replacement for program manager, and
    very good if your setting up a system for your less-intelligent
    users (thats the only kind I know of :-) ).  Allows very specific
    customization of folders and associations that are too complicated
    for the PM.

MyViews:
           We'll get a copy of WindowsExpress to check out 
    (only $99 I think) and see if it works okay.  Definately
    wait on FirstApps though, at least till version > 1.0 comes
    out.


I have no connection with hDC, MicroSoft, etc etc eetc ad nausem.
