Personally I like it. File managers and webbrowsers are (for myself) the most used applications and there's quite a bit of functionality shared by the two. I love the way I can just click on the "Folder" button (you have to add this one yourself, it's not on there by default) in IE and browse a needed network resource. For linux, well.. I've hardly ever had reason to use a full blown file manager however when you have hundreds of computers who's resources you need to access every once in a while the console becomes painful at best, even typing in an URL in konqueror becomes a burden. Surely, there is someone out there using Konqueror to browse shares in their network? There is a tab in Kcontrol where you can fill in a login, a password and a workgroup to use for SAMBA shares, no mention of domain though. William Leese
