Thumbs up WindowBlinds

It's really cool, just in case you guys don't know about it. I bet you do though, and I'm just wasting mine and your time. So sorry.

anyhow...I suggest downloading it from Cnet.
http://www.stardock.com

It's also got WinAMP skins, etc.

Sorry again.

Be warned people though. I found that Windowblinds like to eat up resources, particularly if you have things like McAffee and Zone Alarmn running in the background

Most of these programs require careful tweaking and a lot of personalization. Replacing the windows shell can be a tricky thing, and if you don't get it right it can take a while to repair the damage.

Side note: if you're reading this and have no idea what we're talking about (especially if you don't know what the windows shell is), I wouldn't recommend experimenting with any of this stuff on an important computer.

Pangloss is right. Be warned! If you install Litestep it will rewrite the system.ini file int he Windows directory and change the line 'shell=explorer' to 'shell=c:\litestep/litestep.exe'

If Litestep fails to load Windows will give you one of its dodgy messages in that it will say 'Could not load Litestep.exe Please reinstall Windows'. This is of course not neccessary, just boot the machine and hit F8 and choose to boot in DOS then edit the system.ini from there.

Of course, like Pangloss said if you have no idea what going into DOS means,. or using such wonderful tools such as 'Edit' then do not piss about with litestep.
