Stardock stuff is so bloated though. I guess if you like that stuff it's good. My DesktopRightMenu issimple but gets the job done.

Yes many software is bloated now adays. Glad some people from here still believes software must be well designed - optimized and not overloaded with unuseful CRAP that just sucks your memory and processor cycles senselessy! (sorry.. had to say it, I dont like that kind of software). Simplicity and funcionality - here we go!

Right.

But im not sure the problem with this company is that they design bad, i guess they want to sell they software and then installs (without telling you) some other things, etc. I tricky company seams to be this one.

But theres quite a small quantity of this software (from other companies) that are nice... but the pitty is that they have spyware, lots of "crap" and so on. The average user doesnt care about this I guess..

I don't think so, but they usally installs 'other' stuff from their company or 'take' some of yours PC features.

Don't buy XP then, as it uses their system for "skinning".

Which is why I disable the theme service entirely.

The problem is not with themes or visual styles, but with some software that bundled (hidden) other things... i think StartDoc does that...

So usually never - the icons just gets rancid inside that dir until they get erased somehow.

It happens to me - with txts.. thats why I have written a notes organizer for myself that way I keep every note tidy and handy although im starting to forget about using it ...
