likwit Posted May 5, 2005 Posted May 5, 2005 I'm looking for an alternative shell for Windows XP that replaces explorer.exe.There's so many of them.. it's hard to pick. Explorer tends to use 19MB all the time and that's too **** much... I'd rather have a shell that takes 5MB or so without all the fancy stuff (I already use the classic theme).Does anyone know a simple shell without any bloat and special effects that takes up very little resources? Thanks.
godan Posted May 16, 2005 Posted May 16, 2005 are these full shell replacements or just basic function replacements?this is a just a basic function replacement... but not a full substitute: BBLeanthis is more of a full replacement but... it's not a single file so it would be harder to splipstreamonto a uA install of windows: Aston
Bit.Imp Posted May 26, 2005 Posted May 26, 2005 likwit, what's you shell?Everyone can specify the reasons of their suggestions? thxI also am looking for a shell not funcy stuff low CPU...
kurt476 Posted May 27, 2005 Posted May 27, 2005 i am also looking for stuff that only takes 5MBs or less
jaclaz Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 ASTON is VERY good, but it is Shareware/Commercial.This is a GOOD freeware one:http://www.bb4win.org/news.phpIt is in continual development, and is derived from a Linux project:http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/DownloadBlackboxso you can have the same shell/window manager under Windows AND Linuxjaclaz
kurt476 Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 black box is really nice hmmm i wounder if we can integrate black box in to the os installation cd
