EvilDesk:The low requirement shell replacement.

EvilDesk is not just another explorer replacement.Its different from all the others.Unlike others it focuses more on saving resources than eye candy.Its highly functional with a minimalistic interface.On the whole its something for the serious computer user who wants to get things and without the memory hog or eye candy.

Here's what is said on its homepage

This shell provides the following features but uses only a fraction of the resources that explorer.exe uses:

  • Quicklaunch icon bar
  • System Notification area (aka "Tray"), including tray bubbles
  • Clock
  • No classic taskbar, but "flashing" windows have their icons bounced to get your attention
  • Light-weight icon-free start menu
  • Kludge-free Workspace management; use up to 32 virtual desktops
  • icon-free desktop

EvilDesk loads with a deskbar reminiscent of the Mac OS.It has a clean desktop with no icons and a customizable menu.

The menu and deskbar are highly customizable.Once I tweaked the menu I was able to access all the files in my hard disk through it.

The menu is really helpful.Now I dont have to traverse through a maze of folders to open some file or to check a file's location.

When I tried EvilDesk in my stoneage 128 MB RAM PC it literally blazed.Usually it takes ages to do somehting with explorer.

One the other side some may find the plain desktop unappealing or repulsive.On of my friends also told me that he found it difficult to uninstall EvilDesk.I dont really know about it and I feel tat with such functionality there is no need to uninstall EvilDesk.
