Andy In the Linux world you have a lot of choice. Konqueror is the file Manager supplied with the KDE window manager, but you could also be using xwc - Looks similar to Windows Explorer (but better of course) Rox - Very nice file manager suitable for slow computers. mc - Text based file manager good for those who prefer consoles. Xffm - File manager for the XFce desktop nautilus - The file manager for Gnome desktop (not my favourite) You can use any of these file managers under any window manager. Just because you use KDE does not mean you have to use konqueror. You might also like to play with different window Managers. There are I think 11 different ones supplied on your CDs. The most popular are KDE and Gnome, but IceWm, XFce, WindowMaker, blackbox, and fluxbox all have their fans too. After installing a new Window Manager you can select it it the log on menu where you input your user name. -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

If you have KDE installed that is the filemanager that KDE installs, but for example Xfce has its own filemanager. /Anders Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
