winfile and winXP

[Doc]

I used winfile to manage files in NT 4.0 for many years. Where did it go in
XP? Can I load without screwing up XP?

Yes. it was dropped !

Do NOT use it.

Laern to use MS Explorer.exe to work with files and folders.

Windows XP does not have "winfile.exe".
Visit http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
and scroll down to Item #71 (right column) and download
WinFile.Exe .

RUBBISH. What a load of DRIVEL.

Winfile has better functions than Windows Explorer

Just copy it from your NT box to the XP box. AFAIK it will work fine on XP.

I remember something about it having limitations with long filenames and long paths.
When Microsoft updated NTFS on Win2K, it was dropped.
