Thanks for the link If nothing else, the instructions on that site will keep me busy for a while Edited a day later Followed~ instruction, installed modified NT 5, I am online posting this wininet.dll I was able to delete after installation, shdocvw.dll is there, but unable to do much Edited on March 14 Worked out the details. Eliminated wininet.dll, shdocvw.dll, urlmon.dll, browseui.dll, and deleted all references to them in the registry. Installed bbLean as default shell, use winfile.exe with StepUp as file manager. It works. It is my replacement for win98lite. Thanks again for the link (As for a Linux try-it-on-for-size, my recommendation would be GoblinX-mini or Wolvix-cub)
