I agree with you on Wizards, they suck.
Folder and file concepts really have nothing to do with Gates.
I think you need a class. There really isn't anything difficult about using
Windows 2000 for basic tasks, unless you are trying to force your 1989
concepts on a 1999 operating system in 2006.
What platform did you work on in 1989?

VBG, I didn't really need all the bells and whistles that came with the
later version of Windows, plus my old 486 was supporting me fine, until I
could no longer use email, running out of processor room! Then through a
stroke of luck I came into posssession of a Compaq "Prosignia Desktop" with
Windows 2000 installed and a megabyte hard drive and sound system. It was
like being in seventh heaven. I'm retired and now I'm spending all my time
on the PC. When it comes to computers I don't consider myself a newbie, it
is just that I haven't kept up with the technology, but in hardware and
software! I'm extremely disappointed in the way software is designed today.
It is no longer intuitive and so complex one needs a road map to navigate.
Each software designer and programmer believes that their bread and butter
depends upon how fancy they can be, especially with the GUI. I also dislike
the WIZARD interfaces. Gates and companies folder and file concept sucks. I
believe in the KISS principle!
Enough of my comments!

I can see from the Juno account that you are a serious newbie. What can we
do to help? Really I would like to know how you got by all these years
without Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, WinME, Windows NT, and skipped right to 2000
which is now 6 years old and been replaced by XP. Where have you been for 15
years? Sounds sort of Rip van Winkleish.
Is this list active!
I upgraded recently from W3.1 to W2000 and miss some of the capabilities
of the old 3.1. For example I now have a screenful of icons on the
Desktop! I've been looking for ways to subgroup some of them so I don't
have to have them all showing! Gate's and company have not really
improved Windows, but merely making it more difficult to use.
