    it slaps a very heavily configurable sidebar on the desktop.

    I have mine in the picture set to:

    Top to bottom

    -Windows Media Player plug in to play my vids in it
    -Local weather forcast. Trying to figure out how to put radar in it
    -Computer usage: CPU, Ram, swap file, network activity, HD usage, bandwidth usage.
    -Quickstart
    -clock with pull out calendar
    -The slideshow window displays comic strips. I have mine set to pennyarcade, the sunday comics, dilbert, and Nation Geographic

    Heh that's nothing, I regularly use most of the icons in the quicklaunch at least 5-6 of them per 4-5 hours at least. I need stuff reachable, and information available.
