Getting Windows Explorer and the other components of the
Microsoft Windows 2000 shell to look and work in a manner
congruent with your level of expertise is critical to your
satisfaction with Windows 2000. Fortunately, Microsoft made the
shell highly customizable, so with a modicum of effort you can
tailor it to your comfort. Unfortunately, the system's default
behavior is designed to serve a user whose preferences probably
differ considerably from your own. Therefore you'll almost
certainly need to mold the shell in a variety of ways to get it
working the way you want.
To assist you in that effort, this unit provides a brief power user's
tour of Windows Explorer and other elements of the Windows
2000 shell.
