I don't find Microsoft Explorer on my new Windows XP
system. With Microsoft Explorer I could rearrange and
delete files. Is there some other software that
accommodates these functions?
 
Hi

Do you mean Windows Explorer? What do you see if you type

explorer

from Start>Run
 
Are you sure you don't mean Windows Explorer? Start>All
Programs>Accessories>Windows Explorer.
 
Start, all programs, accessories, Windows Explorer. You can drag the icon to the
desktop and create a shortcut.

Windows Explorer (not Microsoft Explorer) is at All Programs -
Accessories.

Also on new keyboards, the 'Windows' keys, between Alt and Ctrl,
together with E will launch it

You can also r-click the Desktop, take Properties and on the Desktop
page click Customise. Check My Computer to be on the desktop. If you
launch that and click Folders in its tool bar it switches to Explorer
view

Alex, if I may add a footnote to that, which Shirley perhaps
doesn't realize (many people don't). You've implied it, but let
me say it directly: Windows Explorer and My Computer are the same
program. The program simply has two ways of presenting the data,
and they are (somewhat confusing) named differently, so they
appear to be two separate programs.
