GeoShell replaces your taskbar with smaller floating bars which can be moved anywhere you want and allows you to skin and use only the features you want, keeping resource and memory usage to a minimum. You can launch programs from buttons, menus, and hotkeys - in any combination. It gives you complete control, allowing you to group similar tasks into one button and minimize, restore, or even exit them all at once. It also lets you keep an eye on things by providing plugins for monitoring system resources, battery life, web-pages, news, weather, etc.

    Reviewing 4.11.9 Beta (Oct 12, 2004)

    I've been following geoshell for, um, far too long (;

    I had some issues with early 4.10 and 4.11 revisions, but 4.11 eventually did stabilize. The current 4.11.9, with a clean install, has presented me with a shell that's been as stable as my prior Explorer experiences and most crashes I experience are plugin related rather than the shell itself.

    There are some limitations to the menu system and such, but I use this shell on a couple systems full-time with quite the success.

    The installation can cause some headaches in some cases, but the geoshell site forums are pretty responsive.

    1 minute after installing I now have a dead windows 2000 system.

    Piece of crap keep your rubbish to yourself.

    BlueScreenJunkie,
    Thanks, but that didn't help. In fact, it made matters much worse, as with the missing shellhook.dll file, the 'stable' version, crashed 5 seconds after rebooting, leaving me with no shell. Same in safe mode. I had to restore to a previous registry, just to get going again.

    bbhermit, I believe this beta is an upgrade for the stable release, so go to www.geoshell.com download and install the R4.10.1 official build, and then you can upgrade with these files.

    The program is just great, still lacks a few features, but very stable so far, and better than explorer.exe.
