Despite a some what steep learning curve I have chosen to learn the "alternative shell" LiteStep. Since I'm
not the only one trying to learn this program I have decided to chronicle everything I learn about LiteStep,
starting as a new user and through hopefully an experienced veteran user.
If you you're wondering what this "LiteStep" is, here is a description as quoted from
LS2k:
LiteStep is a shell replacement for Windows. The default Windows shell, known as Explorer, is what provides
you with your start menu, system tray, taskbar etc, but this shell can be turned off and replaced with a
much more configurable and user-friendly desktop environment. LiteStep replaces these standard items but
also adds a whole slew of new, useful and totally configurable features. You have complete control over
how your desktop works, looks and feels. You can switch back to the standard Explorer shell at anytime as
no files are removed or overwritten, but once you've tried it you'll realise how basic a shell Explorer
really is. And the best thing of all? It's absolutely and completely free.
You can find the complete explanation on my LiteStep Explained page
which Jalist was nice enough to give to me when he took LS2k.org down.
By the way if you're getting a JS error it's not me, it's my hit counter.
