My life and Welcome to It

This may be a real newbee question .. but what are the manifest files
and what do they do?

Me
 
Same as your MULTIPOST in microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support

Where are they located?

Windows XP has a new look. Older Windows applications use the older Windows
look even though they may use the same controls to create the look. A
..MANIFEST file, which is an XML document, can be created to tell XP to use
the newer look with the older program. In use, the .MANIFEST file is given
the same name is the program in question with .MANIFEST added after the .EXE
extension (e.g., PROGRAM.EXE.MANIFEST). The .MANIFEST file is saved in the
same directory as the .EXE file that it is meant to affect.
