You, sir, are welcome.
Apps I use: Objectdock, kinda like Rocketdock but different. Hott notes 4: this is a BILSS when you have a habit of forgetting stuff, and I have one! And I'm experimenting with Aston Shell, I'm trying to convert the entire desktop to look like the DODnetSystems menu in Crysis. That's about it, iColorFolder looks nice, might use it. |

Looks like you need a recovery cd a LOT.
Check out Hiren's Boot cd, that's a good one too. |

TweakUI is a MUST for any windows system. The only GUI modification I use (if you can call it that) is Yahoo Widgets with simple CPU, RAM, and Bandwidth gauges. I have a few other widgets, but nothing I use often.
I've considered messing with some GUI mods, but most of them are either useless, clutter, or crazy window hacks that can cause stability issues. |
