The upgrade from NT 3.5 to 3.51 is named the 3.51 "Step-Up" ugrade. I don't really know what it fixes, but I do know it allows you to add the NT 4.0 shell, called the NT Explorer. I called Microsoft (and go through after a mere 35 minutes of pass the customer). The rep said the 3.51 Step-Up upgrade is free to those who purchased NT after April 95, but shipping from MS costs about five bucks. Optionally, you can buy the upgrade from your favorite retail outlet. I got mine from CDW for about fifteen bucks. Once you have successfully installed the 3.51 upgrade, you can download the NT 4.0 shell from the GO MSDR forum. The Explorer shell is intended for developers only, however, they don't care who downloads and uses it. By using it you essentially forfeit support for NT because you're using beta code. — James — Choreo Motion —
