Windows thru 98se were all DOS based systems. NT, 2000, and XP are NT based, no dos involved (correct me if I'm wrong here, guys) Also, I think ME is dos based.

i feel much better equiped now to understand why this Win NT thing. at first i had thought of NT as server software which has nothing to do with sitting on an average users desk.
The other thing is that i understand it a whole much better so that i can look for more info with some direction much better. Thanx
