what is difference between kernel and shell?

Answer Posted / sudharsan

Post Kernel And Shell clarifications??
Hey Gang,

What is the main difference between the Kernel and the Shell
in a Windows environment. Is the kernel the main part of my
Windows 98SE Op.Sys which would include the MSDOS.SYS,
IO.SYS and COMMAND.COM files or is it something else??

What is the shell? Is the shell simply the command prompt I
see when I start up DOS, or is it the desktop that I see
when I start up Win98SE??

One last question.... what is kernell32.dll?? I know that
the 32 part refers to 32 bits but what does that actually mean??

Thanks every1 once again :-)
