The only problems with this is that If u restart ur pc it doesn’t run automatically and the other problem is that u cant put a shortcut on the desktop that works.

Uses some resources but if you have 1G of memory and a decent video card you should experience no problems. I use the Object Desktop (includes Window Blinds and several other apps)which I have subscribed to for 3 years now (initially $50 and reup is $35 each year). With Object Desktop my GUI looks better than Vista or a Mac. Rick Brown Window Blinds is the best IMHO.

Here I am, desperately trying to avoid a resource-hogging, graphics-intensive, alleged OS upgrade, and someone comes along with a program that will make my current OS look (and perform) like the alleged upgrade. I realize I'm in the minority, but I don't want `the full EXPERIENCE' of an operating system; I want to operating system to *operate*. To be stable. To not require rebooting. To be safe. To not require complete hardware updates. Maybe it's just me..... I’m impressed.
