happy 20k post, btw.
Actually, at the time, I thought File Manager was much better than the way Win95 dealt with files. If you remember the default behavior of Win95 was to open every directory in a new window. I thought this was extremely unorgainzed and for the longest time I continued to use the old File Manager.
Since I had upgraded from Win3.1 pretty much all of my files were 8 characters or less so the lack of long filename support didn't matter much. However after a while typing c:\progra~1, etc. got old so I made the switch.

I still have the floppies from 3.1, 3.11, 95 and 98.
That was fun.

So I've been fooling around with Virtual PC and have been able to get get Windows 3.11 up and running. I installed the network drivers as well as the TCP/IP protocol and am now able to surf the net and share files with my real WinXP computer.

If you are wondering why I went to all the trouble, it is because i wanted an old MS-DOS rig which I could play all of my old DOS games. I have used DOSBox before but it has some issues with certain games so I thought I'd give this a try. However, because of the way Virtual PC works you can't really copy files over easily. I had to use a floppy disk to install the NIC drivers and TCP/IP protocol. However once I got those installed I was able to set up file sharing and everything works great. I just set up a folder on the virtual hard drive called Shared and gave it full write access so I can just drag files into it via Windows XP. Also, I can also access the shared files from my XP rig in Win3.11. Pretty cool if you ask me.
