The Windows NT file manager can control the sharing of folders on the
local computer or a remote Windows NT computer. It can also edit file permissions
on NTFS drives.
Here are several of the administrative tools. On the top is the event
viewer, which shows events logged by NT services, drivers, and applications.
On the bottom is the user manager, which is used for creating and editing
user accounts.
Windows NT includes a Remote Access application, but unlike Windows
for Workgroups, the NT version supports TCP/IP over PPP for internet connectivity.
I found it interesting that the help file mentions choice of browser. I'm
sure you won't see that phrase anywhere in Windows 2000.
Here is something that you don't see every day. Word 97 running under
NT 3.51. Have you ever wondered why the controls in Office 97 are so much
more sluggish than other applications? Well, here is why: It draws all
of the controls itself. This is very obvious when running under NT
3.51, as the native menus are 2-D, and the native window controls do not
have the "X" button. While this does give NT 3.51 users a "95ish" experience,
it is completely redundant in Windows 95 and NT 4. This also means that
if a future Windows has 4-D ray-traced menus or such enhancements, Office
97 will not be able to take advantage of them.
