While setting up PPTP and the TV-Card on my brothers computer I downloaded Monado – the Microsoft Shell [MSH]. And I had to use the Internet Exploder because of the great (haha) “Microsoft File Transfer Manager”-feature. No chance to download the .exe with Opera, Firefox or Konqueror – you just don’t get a connection to the server. *d’oh*

Being back at work today I was setting up Service Pack 2 on my Windows XP Box (which I haven’t used for more than 4 months now). I also installed the .NET-Framework and MSH. It’s awful slow on my box. I just took some screenshots.

There does not exist any useful documentation for MSH besides the internal help and some blogs. So I started to download “The .NET Show: Longhorn Fundamentals”. I was able to get it with opera but guess what’s the file type? dotnetshow43_300k.EXE. So no chance to use the movie outside a microsoft operating system. Ok, let’s uncompress the file and see what’s inside:
