Effective Desktop

I use it with Win2000 & it works very well.

It can use multiple desktops & a fancy clock (Which I do not use)

I created an "XP" start button which I felt look nicer...

I have attatched an image of my setup to give you an idea & if you wish I can post you the "XP" start button icon?

Yeah, I second Effective Desktop... But it breaks TClock and all it's variants. If T2Clock is a variant of it, you might have to quit using it (It might still work, it just won't customize the clock). Other classic-taskbar customization apps might be broken too, I don't know. Been a while since I've used 9x/2k... in fact, I'm surprised nobody's said "OMG Y U STIL UES SucH A CARP OS GET XP ITS FREE OF KAYZUYH!" - But good luck to ya ;)

"OMG Y U STIL UES SucH A CARP OS GET XP ITS FREE OF KAYZUYH!"
hahah I got an amd k6-2 550mhz on pc chips mob.Added it?s overlocked just got this for a few bugs maybe now that they given me visa card I buy something better (also have an amd 3200 in the house but it?s from my bro that let me use it from time to time :)IMAO like a dream come true:)

pc s are kind of expensive in my country and I am currently unmployed

anyway I am pretty happy with my pc for what I use it works perfectly fine (msn, mails , surfing, emuling, watching vids) I tweaked the os the most I could, and added Titan P4 cooler dont know what model one internal fan, changed the place where atx powerbox was and put it on the bottom of the the tower

wrapped the IDE cables with tape to make them thinner (that way I made more space).

pretty much modded

That's such a cultural technique, instead of saying either nothing or offering some help, all you can do is recommend another os.

Maybe my os of choice, is superior to yours, but i have no desire to go around, trying to persuade anyone to change to it.

If you don't have anything useful to say, then shut up.

It's so obvious, that you don't have the wisdom or intellect to offer useful advice.

You're entitled to your opinion, but who cares to hear that instead of helping me, some spout...

Either help me, or find something else to spout about..

Systray X didnt work it just pop ups a menu that shows the hidden icons and PS factory crashed with TCLOCK . I tried desktop enhancement but I couldnt make the way to customize nuthin?to hard to use ... Tclock it?s just fine is there anything to hide unhide icons for tclcok

And just read this from virtual plastic

d Every stuff SCREWS TCLOCK.=(=(

Got the taskbar set to 'autohide' too ?? Then you've noticed there's still a real thin line visible when it hides...

Martin Bresson wrote a free app to fix this (Win 98/NT and special 95 version), get it at his homepage. This utility screws up Tclock though...

Another utility to handle this line, and also gives you some control over the "hiding behaviour", is Taskbar Activate (Win 9x/2k). Same problems with running other tools in the area, though...

yeas win2k is not a crap some ppl say it?s the best os they ever had....... already........it doesnt have UFI (undentified flying icons) anywhat linux is the best of all the os (or NOT) (?)

    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
