Well, no, they're not the same thing in the context in which we were speaking. They have different executables which is to what I was referring and what Dale was asking. :-) (See last paragraph below). -Clint
God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) From: Peter Kaulback If you are using XP then Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer are the same thing. Check the version number under properties to determine if this is true in Win Me, I know under 98 it's different. Peter Kaulback In the hour of 06:24 AM 8/16/2004, OrpheusComputing.com spoke this: Explorer, and Internet Explorer or IExplore, are two different things. Explorer is sort of the core or heart of Windows. You cannot delete either one (especially Explorer) without causing some serious damage. You can't just go and start deleting things from C: or C:\Windows, unless they are something like .bmp or .txt files, and temp files are ok if they've been there a while. ME is very unstable. I liked it at first, but after a few updates and using it for awhile, it was crashing all the time and I've heard similar stories. It's sort of the "bad problem child" of M$. -Clint ======================== I've been having similar problems with this Explorer thingie. I have a Gateway AMD Athlon with Win ME. Every once in a while I'll suddenly get a little box pop up on the screen that says something about Explorer causing an error in some file or program or another. It only gives me the option to click the button "Close", but if I move the box and work around it for a little while, I can close it later and nothing bad will happen, if I click the Close button without moving it, I lose all but one or two tray icons and whatever file and program I was working on at the time. Yesterday, I JUST finished booting up for the first time that day when I got this error message, so I had to restart and go through all of that all over again. I was going to burn a few cd's for one of my customers and didn't want this problem to screw up the cd's for me, or her. I have NEVER used Internet Explorer on this computer (if that's what it is that's giving me the problems). I can't find anything that just says Explorer, so I don't want to delete Internet Explorer if that's not what's causing this. Whatever this is, I want to get rid of it as SOON as possible!!! I'm sick and tired of getting these messages and losing my work!! Any ideas what this could be? Is it actually IE? If so, I'm deleteing it. I never use it.
