Hello everyone! :-D
OK, I asked this question a looooooooong time ago... I lost the floppy that Weinger gave me, and his website doesn't work anymore! I tried PeepHole's but it gives me file-not-found errors... I also saw one on SourceForge, but it's not there anymore! Anyone know where I could get one? Thanks! ;-)

If I connect my microwave to my PC, will I be able to download food?

El-Trucha: Windows 3.x does not have a boot floppy, W3.x is a GUI on-top-of-MS-DOS...

There's a good reason why his site "doesn't work anymore."

What you have is an illegal, hacked up version of stuff that originally came from Microshafted

"If you want FAT32/LFN and W3.x then install W95 OSR2.1 or later and use the alternative W3.x style interface"

I found Weinger's around my D:\Downloads folder, and now I'm trying to make a better version of it! Ha! :-D

plainandsimple: I hadn't heard of Win95 having an alternative Win3.x style interface - can you tell me more please?

(Actually I know such a thing must exist, because the DriveSpace resize program uses it if you resize the drive where Windows is installed - after the computer reboots, the resize program appears with 3.x style widgets and window borders... but I didn't think there was any way to use it elsewhere)

Say what now? A bit convoluted, dontcha think?

I imagine the reference is to the alternate file manager included in 9x, winfile.exe

Resist the temptation to close your request for help with semantically-null questions like “Can anyone help me?”

the W3.1 interface in W95 is simply a file in C:\Windows called progman.exe.

I think this is how it goes... You need to open your system.ini file and change the "shell" part to "progman.exe", and voila! :-D
