I know a friend(Mystic0)and he uses Linux and he has workspaces,no toolbar,and uses right click to acess a menu. Is there any way you can do this with Windows?
If any body knows a program or something, that would be great.Thanks.

not that I know of.

The University of North Carolina has finally found a network server that, although missing for four years, hasn't missed a packet in all that time. Try as they might, university administrators couldn't find the server. Working with Novell Inc., IT workers tracked it down by meticulously following cable until they literally ran into a wall. The server had been mistakenly sealed behind drywall by maintenance workers.

Litestep is kinda like that. It does have a menu bar though, but I'm sure you could probably turn it off. Along with getting rid of the icons on the desktop. So, you could try it I guess.

Try different shells. I know geoshell has something close to that. Search it at www.sourceforge.net

Ya,thanks. None of them have the seperate window feature. It has 4 screens at the bottom. You can click on a screen and i diff workspace comes up. Ex. I have Internet Explorer up, i click on another screen, and another desktop will be there with nothing on it.
(If you do not understand this, go to the "Got a Desktop" thread, and look for Mystic0's screenshot. Look at the bottom right, and you see 4 screens(right next to the AIM icon and the Steamicon). That's what im trying to say.

You could, you know, just use Linux...

there was a program with the nvidia drivers that did what you want... (I think).

It'll only work if you have a gforce card though.

The nVidia driver thing is actually a program running... it's not part of the desktop. If you want workspaces, try blackbox. Make sure you download the .exe file. If you do this though, you will be sacrificing alot of 'eye candy' for simplicity; blackbox is pretty basic. (but themeable)

If you want the desklets (clock, weather, system monitors) I think somebody mentioned Samurize.

That'd be me.

Samurize is godly.

I have a mini program that came packaged with Object Desktop that gives me virtual desktops. I've used them a few times, but that's about all. I might use them more if the programs listed on the taskbar stayed seperate as well.
