Yup.  So, if you used a current computer at work, you'd likely be using
something other than an administrator account for your work.

They're the same thing, however, there are two different displays.  One shows
you just the current folder while the other uses two panes with a directory
tree on the left and files and folders on the right.  I almost always use the
single window approach but change my view (use the View menu from the Explorer
command bar or click on the icon to the right of the "Folders" icon) from
"Icons" to "Details".  That's more analogous to a DOS dir command.  You can
also set what details to see and change their order to your own desire...

Hey, we've all stuck in there with Jean; you're just an added bonus...  ;)
