hey bill,
for folks who are really wanting a windows-like environment, i'd
recommend going with a gnome or kde desktop environment. both
come with built in file browsers, and i believe that they both

hey bill,
if you're reluctant to try and install gnome or kde, i'd recommend
you download and burn yourself a knoppix CD. if you're not familiar
with what knoppix is, it's a bootable linux on a cd, based off of debian,
and comes with gnome, kde, and iirc even icewm as options from the
boot prompt
