>>where is the equivalent of the old win 3.1 "program manager" in win 98<< Challo (interesting name), I never had the pleasure of 3.1, but I believe the equivalent is to hit "Start" and then choose "Programs" from the drop-down menu. I'm not sure how to transfer your old bookmarks to the new browser. If you're using internet explorer, the bookmarks, called "favorites" are in C:\Windows\Favorites. You might try just copying the old favorites into the new folder. Since you call them "bookmarks" I suspect you use Netscape in which case someone else will have to help you. I believe if you have Netscape installed in Win98 and then you install ie4 or 5, ie will import all your bookmarks from Netscape automatically. I may be wrong about everything, wily PS It is a great help to learn the features of the "Find" function: Start/Find. If you're looking for a file somewhere in the computer this will search for it. Also has a text search. You can also find all files with a particular extension by searching for "*.xyz" (without the quotes). Your email and address book folders are in Windows/Application Data. Your program shortcuts that show up in Start/Programs are in Windows\Start Menu You might want to check your folder: Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup to see what junk they have set to start up every time you turn your computer on. Some people have low resources because of this, although I think it's still possible for some programs to auto-run without being in that folder. ctrl+alt+del is another way of viewing which programs are in use and is an emergency way of shutting them down. Hit it twice in a row and Windows shuts down (not recommended).
