Hi Dragan,

>Some other win+key combinations give you somewhat different responses now, and AFAIK that's configurable too.

It seems you already have it installed as the shell. I kinda liked the util, and the size was surprising 298KB uncompressed!! In fact compare the size of IE and FireFox, ditto. By the way do you use FF?

Another suggestion is to use StartRight (http://www.joejoesoft.com/sr.php) takes out a lot of CPU startup load. I have a lot of apps that are supposed to start, though now it takes longer to load but the harddisk is less thrashed.

I have somehow over the years cultivated a habit to look for MS alternatives (and have a long list of them and I can send you the links if you will), if we can't live without Windows and VFP that does not mean we can't replace everything else that MS provides with something more efficient. Though I must say I never had the guts to replace the shell and this one looks promising. One thing that concerns me is the lack to releases this last year, does it worry you on that point? Your OS is XP? Mine is W2K.
