SleepyBear Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 simple, I want to use a shell besides explorer exe, price does not matter, but I want something that uses less resources than explorer. exe customizable shells would be a plus, but im not very picky, so long as it performs better than explorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m0u53 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Novells Nalwin.exe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deveant Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Novells Nalwin.exe? not quite the same, its more the kinda of thing like KDE and Fluxbox, both are linux based, and they change the way the OS handles (hence shell) Nalwin is just a File Launcher, such as the application launcher U3 has.

manimal Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 this actually came up in IRC land the other night while I was on. so I'll share what was given to me. www.bb4win.org <- called Blackbox. originally for linux, but was ported to windows. I haven't tried it, but it looks nice. www.sharpe-shell.org both I believe are opensource, so its free.. I personally use astonshell right now, and its pretty nice, yet took awhile to get the customization figured out. price well I won't comment.
