    XP shell replacement

    Ok I have been looking into this, and most of the replacement I have come accross seem very complicated to setup and configure ;/ What I am basically looking for is MacOSX for the PC

    ie a shell replacement [free or otherwise] that will give me that sort of look and functionality..if its at all possible

    or failing that a shell replacement thats simple to configure

    any advice??

    I used the aston shell (www.astonshell.com) for a while and found it to be both aesthetically pleasing and highly configurable.

    Hope this helps.

    Could you not use a theme that makes xp look like the Mac OS? (using the UXTHEME.DLL trick)
