Well I've been using this shell for the past month and I gotta say its just plain out awesome. No bugs so far and it runs smooth on vista 64. Not to mention it also looks awesome, feels kinda like Linux (Gnome). I'll probably get off my butt later and try to mix it up with rainmeter later and see what kind of desktop I can pull off.
Can't wait to see what other themes they release next time.
i have figured out some things i needed when working with an autorun file, but theres is one thing i am looking to do that i just don't know how. i have over 60 installers of different programs. i want to be able to either :
1. have the option to select one or more programs to install from the 'autorun' window
or
2. write a program will display these multiple programs by category with icons and all.
i have the icons, programs, and dev-c++. but i am clueless as to where to start from here. i figured the easiest way to do this would be within the autorun notepad file, but have found no guidance online as to how i can display multiple programs to install. as of right now, i am looking at option 2, hoping i can find a tutorial or base program to work around and get my desired results.
if any has any advice, experience or links, these would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
a lowly novice

It's that whole back-to-school season, which means parents are probably wondering if they have to buy their college-bound kids a brand new PC or they can wring another year out of the old one.
Consider keeping the old one, but applying a fresh coat of OS paint. I'm speaking, of course, of Windows 7, which can make a Windows XP system feel like new and a Vista machine feel like less of a sluggish old dog.
Not enthused about spending $119.99 for a Windows 7 upgrade? I hear you. Well, how does $29.99 sound? That's the amazingly reasonable price available to students. And further defying all logic and reason, that 30 bucks buys you Windows 7 Professional, not the Home Edition.
Now for the fine print. (Don't worry, it's nothing terrible.) To qualify for this deal, you need an eligible e-mail address--namely, one that ends in . Hover over the Am I Eligible? link to find out more.

This App has saved my ass more then once. Anyone else have any good apps that they want to share?
I'm abou to download this application and check it out, but I wanted to ask if anyone at all knows anything about this app, and if they have any good or bad things to say about it. Its supposed to be real fast, lightweight, free, and open source. I'm going to check it out and review it I think.

Project Phase – v1 Beta – Adding MRI to Project
Right well this is quite a long tutorial and should by the end of it leave you will a fully functional Geek Squad MRI that you can build on and also be able to fully boot from a USB Pen drive, mobile phone memory card etc
The idea is to have a fully functional MRI that can also have other utilities/boot disks added to it and work from disc or usb equally well.
For this project I have used the 5.1.1.0 version of MRI, the last public release because I don't have V.I.P access to get the latest version though this tutorial should work fine from what I've seen of the latest release it no longer has Acronis products as an option? Good news, you can add it back in
You will need -
UltraISO – Full version (run a torrent search for UltraISO Premium Edition v9.3.6.2760 or buy it, I recommend buying it. Only needed if you want to burn the project to a disc. If you only want to use a USB drive then you don't need this)
Right, here's the thing. Some of you may know I wrote a tutorial on getting MRI 5.1.1.0 to boot from USB using syslinux but I was never happy with the methods used because it also required grub and made it difficult to add extra stuff and required the ISO to be present as well as all the files unpacked (roughly doubling the size) in order for everything to work.
Well enter my new project, a modular multi-boot system that allows you to add the things you want to your own unique disk/USB.
I have already re-written the entire MRI menu in syslinux and made some alterations to the programs to get them all to work and the best thing is with re-write you can easily burn it to DVD, boot it from a USB stick and add other disks/Utilities to your build
i was curious how F-Prot stacks up to some other AV's like panda/a-squared/kaspersky.. and if any 1 has been able to get a clean version or just the updates for the dos version?
hey all, i LOVE virtualbox it works SO nicely and perfect, only problem is that it seems to be only able to run x86 operating systems... is there a software (or some kind of mod) that does what virtualbox does so nicely but also (or only would be ok) supports virtualizing x64 Operating Systems?
A little while back I discovered Windows 7 and was pleasantly delighted to find that Microsoft had finally released another quality operating system. Still, as amazing as Windows 7 is, it still lacks some crucial functionality for which reason I have created this thread.
