I really got into Windows 3.0 and grabbed everything off the net I
could find for it.  However, I still haven't really learned how the
files of Windows 3.0 are organized.  Now, I've used up so much disk
space that I need to clean up but I'm not sure what I can delete and
what I can't!  I don't want to erase anything important or re-install
Windows and lose all my customization!  Because of my poor
(non-existent) planning, my files are very disorganized.

1. What file extensions should I know about?  Besides the normal DOS
extensions, I know about ICO (icons) PIF (program info) and BMP
(bitmap).  What are the others?  DLL?  NOT?

2. What is the best way to organize one's Windows stuff?  I now see a
ton of files in my C:\WINDOWS directory, but I don't know which are
essential to the operation of Windows.  Some programs seem to want to
be installed in \windows, others I have installed in their own
subdirectories under \windows.  And others are grouped together (like
\windows\games and \windows\util.)

3. At one point, I thought I was deleting an application by just
deleting it from the Program Manager.  Can the Program Manager be made
intelligent enough to actually delete an application or subdirectory?
I guess that could be dangerous, though.

4. Help!

Thanks for listening, any advice would be appreciated...
