Shell Managers

from WinCustomize Forums
Give up your links for good shell managers please

The two that I have found that are good and support allot of different shells are:

Carapace - http://carapace.ls2k.org/htm/news.htm
ShellOn - http://delusional.psionstyle.co.uk/

Is this it or are there any more that you would like to recommend?

TIA

Also, I own NS, HD and DX. Are there any Shell Managers out there that you would suggest that are good for loading non-shell app configs as well?

Hmm, I have Carapace running. God knows why, seeing I'm using just Explorer. Just some more seconds to boot.

I wrote my own, just so that I could have it look and act like I want it to. Unfortunately, the developer always ignores my bug reports

Right now it just deals with the (HIVE)\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon key (I'm on Windows 2000 and somewhat lazy). However, one of these days I'd like to make it configurable so that you can specify explorer as the shell, but also tell it to run NextStart with a particular skin. That would be handy when switching between LiteStep/Non-LiteStep themes.
