runningfool Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 im sick of having to hide the taskbar, so im in the market for a shell replacement for explorer. i already use a rocketdock plugin to replace the start menu, so i dont need any "right click --> start menu" functionality. and i dont do anything in explorer more advanced than navigating folders or copying/deleting/moving files. ideally id like something more stable and less resource hungry than explorer is. and i run 64-bit xp so id probably need a 64-bit version of something. ive tried xplorer2 (too many features ill never use) and just about every blackbox variation (UGLY), but i just keep coming back to explorer.does anyone have any suggestions or know where i can find a list of decent windows shell alternatives?

tain Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Litestep! Not sure if they have a 64bit version, though. Others are here. Talisman and Aston might be good for you. Quote
runningfool Posted January 26, 2008 Author Posted January 26, 2008 wow thanks, i guess i should have checked wikipedia first.has anyone used any of the shell replacements listed in the link above? any opinions on them? Quote
tain Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) I've been using Litestep for years. Fast, stable and pretty.A friend of mine loaded Aston and it was *very* pretty with lots of features. I've tried some of the other less-popular ones but they weren't robust enough for me. Edited January 26, 2008 by tain Quote
