Sh'elf is an on-demand window that functions just like your regular desktop, complete with drag-and-drop capability. Program supports relative (portable) paths for customizable image viewing, text editor, command shell, etc., as well as interface options such as stay-on-top and tray icon.
Good for alternate shells or quick access to another directory as an alternate desktop.
A 64-bit version is available (within the folder).

The one thing I really like about Sh'elf is being able to browse to any folder and hit the F10 key to open a command prompt at that folder. Sweet!

This looked cool, but its not what I thought it was. the description is (partially) accurate, you can't move icons around via drag and drop, doesn't support custom background images, and only one window. |

I know Emerge Desktop is also minimalist if you want, but the different applets/modules eats up too much memory for my taste.

It's not clear to me what this actually does or why I would need it. Is it just a replacement for Windows Explorer?

portable? yes; runs on top of explorer. some systray icons disappear, but the programs still running. go for the ultimate in security: create a profile in every pc you use that requires you have the USB stick inserted or else no shell can load. |
