"Just what is Vshwin32EXE? Is it something that someone could live without? If it's supported by Windows98 (which it is) why doesn't it have an intelligent name that everyone can understand?"
The answer is, although win 95/98 etc can handle long file name extensions certain file types still have to use the 8.3 file protocol i.e .exe files. As far as I know this is still a throw back to the days of dos, it just makes things easier and neater in the operating system. Having said that I don't know what will happen with Windows ME as there is no dos support in that. Hope that helps.
