Actually, I find myself using MSDOS.EXE instead of FILEMAN.EXE !
Serious ! MSDOS.EXE might look ugly and simple, it fires up at least
an order of magnitude faster than FILEMAN.EXE and doesn't hog system
resource ! And when I want to look at two different directory at the
same time, I simply run two copies of MSDOS.EXE.

Look ! I simply works ! Of course I won't use it as the primary shell.
I still use PROGMAN.EXE.

ps:  Actually, I think the drive icons in MSDOS.EXE in Windows 3.0 are
     simply too big and ugly compaired to their Windows 2.x version.
