Just a quick question. I was wondering if all the various components of the modern WINDOWS desktops, (95,98,98SE,NT 2K,XP.) are basically the same. I am not sure since I have only used 95, and ME.

    Set your XP desktop to "classic" view (I think) and you'll see the desktop common on Windows 2000 icon_wink.gif

    thanks Pavlov and bellboy for the information. Do you two happen to know if the components are required knowledge in the A+ exam?

    the fact that certain o/s look like others will not come into the exam, uless you use them as points of reference for dating them. for instance, nt looks like win95 and (correct me if i'm wrong) may have come out before it. that's one way to remember that nt is not a true pnp o/s and does not support fat32.

    NT 3.51 looked like Win 3.x and Win95 used the new start button UI first, NT 4.0 released later, used the new 95 interface. XP is the first to use the new "fisher price" start button, but can easily be switched to classic.
