Hi, I seem to remember that tucows had a filemanager - or was it sf.net - that closely resembled the explorer. Unfortunately I forgot its name. I used to use it years ago on my LNX boxes. May I sugges a search on the two sites for filemanagers/linux? AAAHHHHHHHHH..........now I remember; "crusader" was the name. Search for that! Best regards, Verner > Have you tried konqueror?
