Does Blackbox really save you resources or anything? I've always liked your blackbox setup, I'm thinking I'll switch to it..

if you do the blackbox.exe -install, then this way you kill explorer.exe which use far less memory

but this way, you need an alternative to browse your file

I personally use, xplorer2 the free edition

shen seems to not have -installed it and keep explorer.exe installed

so blackbox run as another application and his version doesnt style toolbar, versus bblean does

actually, i'm not sure what i've done that's so special, but i always use the -install switch to set it as my default shell, but explorer never pops up as a process for me. i can open 20 folders/windows and never see a whisper of explorer.exe.

*shrugs*

dunno what i've done, but that's how it's worked for me on all the pc's i've installed bbox on.

I use BBlean as the default shell and explorer as the file manager.

Whenever I start explorer as a file manager, I see the explorer process start using about 11meg. When I close the file manager, the process stops as one would expect.

Strange that we have different experiences. :wacko:

Kinda tired of customizing Win XP. Gone back to the default Windows XP icons together with Luna Element 3 (which is like the default Win XP Luna theme but much more cleaner and nicer). The only customized in this screenshot is the Miranda Clist.

on my 'tower' pic, i'm using segoe ui. on my 'laptop' pic (the one i just used above, also), i'm using the longhorn font 'candara.'

i use the bblean .exe, but without all the extra stuff. just the bblean executable with all the normal bb4win .rc's and .dll's.
