I've spent the last several years organizing things on my computer into things called subdirectories. It does not make sense to me not to allow these new entities called groups to mimic subdirectories. As a poor substitute, Microsoft repackaged the shell from Windows 2.X with Windows 3.0. It is called MSDOS.EXE and can be made the default shell from system.ini. I was really hoping for a more Mac-like interface, so until it arrives, I will use MSDOS.EXE as my shell for Windows 3.0. Does anyone know of any 3rd party software (shareware or other) that allows a more graphical representation of things than PROGMAN.EXE? WINFILE.EXE (the File Manager) is not professional enough for me.
