explorer replacement

I have found SmartFTP with it's Local Folders let pane and two Local Browser panes to the right as my replacement for Explorer. It is the best explorer replacement I've seen in terms of speed, lack of hang ups and customizability.

I just have one request, and that is whether it would be possible to have a shortcut toolbar that I can use as a launcher for applications so that I can do away with the start menu as well and just launch this at startup instead of the explorer shell.

Thanks.

Try <A HREF="http://www.astonshell.com">Aston.</A> - it's nearly perfect - by far the best shell replacement out there.

If you want something like a start-menu, try <A HREF="http://www.digitallis.co.uk/pc/ShortPop ... rtPopUp</A>, although I don't know where you'd put the icon (perhaps just have a folder open in SmartFTP with the shortpopup instances - you'll understand when you learn about the program).

If you just want loads of toolbars, try <A HREF="http://www.windowspowerpro.com/">PowerTools</A> as your shell.
