Thanks....I guess I don't like the shell either. It is a hassle to get to everything...there is two of everything and I have to give myself permission to get to me! Does that make sense?

It looks like Windows 2000 is the winner so far in here...which is what I was leaning too in the beginning. NOT 'ME'..just plain windows 2000. Hopefully it is not a network...and I can get to me...without going through the administrator..which is also me.

The XP interface is a bit guady, I agree. However, you can switch it to feel like the normal 98/Win2000 interface. A major thing about XP is how big it is. Win98 takes about 300megs. WinNT can take 800megs-1gig (depending). WinXP (basic install) can take over 1.5gigs of HD space (1gig if you don't include driver cabs...which store all future XP drivers you may need.)

Hopefully it is not a network...and I can get to me...without going through the administrator..which is also me. Win2000 is quite solid, and NT has much better memory and HD managment (if you install Win2000, I suggest going with the NTFS file system. It's smaller and faster then FAT32).

The easiest way in WinNT to make sure you have full access is to create your login, and make it an Administrator. You shouldn't have any problems with this. Win2000 is good for networking, but in no way requires it.
