I was wondering, any easy way to count new vistors and count return visitors
I envision 2 counter text files, newbies and returnies
I can use a cookie to detect a returning visitor

You could use a text file, but perhaps a database like SQLite might be better.

I am using Windows server, so databases are hard to connect to at the best of time

That's why I recommended SQLite. It is file based and very fast -- and you can use SQL to access the data. Just uncomment the .dll in php.ini and give it a try.
