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.

The download link gives an File Not Found error. There are now two separate zips, one for 32bit and one for 64. |

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. |
