hum,
>>You can do this manually...
yeah, good suggestion, though i would personally have a duel booting machine - a tweaked win98SE and a winUAE OS...
(just, shove in the Windows cdrom and instead of overwriting the current os create a new `Windows2` folder to install the alternative boot onto...)
Uhh, correct me if I'm wrong, but is your impression that you would need two seperate installs of Windows in order to have one with Explorer and another for WinUAE as the shell? Because that's not what I'm suggesting at all. You can use just one install of your "tweaked win98SE" and 'switch' between using Explorer and WinUAE. It's very much like the idea of multiple windows managers on the *nix platforms. One install of the X Window System, but you have a choice between Motif, FVWM, Window Maker, Black Box, AmiWM, etc, etc. as your window manager.
If you use a shell manager like ShellOn, you can choose between Explorer and WinUAE as your shell from one win98 install. In essence, ShellOn inserts itself as the default shell and then launches whatever other shell you want to use (i.e. BB4W, GeoShell, LiteStep or even WinUAE). To use (something of) an Amiga analogy, ShellOn would be sort of like having a program that replaces "starwb" in your startup-sequnce. When run it would prompt you to choose between Workbench, Directory Opus or Scalos as your GUI for a single AmigaOS install.
