This is a small glimpse of my desktop...

This is a Windows XP SP2 machine running the Aston Shell replacement for Explorer.

As you can see, I have AltDesk installed and am on the blank #2 desktop and I've expanded the left and right panels to show Aston in all of its glory...

If you look on tab1 of AltDesk you'll see that i have SQLYog, SSH.Com's SSH client, and FireFox running; I figured I'd show you what Aston shows in the toolbar when nothing is open as well (by switching to desktop #2).

As I'm on a laptop, I can't really be in a "Multi Monitor" environment at my work area, so I rely on AltDesk to emulate a 4 screen configuration (which works out quite well)... I can't just look amongst them like I could with 4 monitors, but 'eh it's easy enough to Alt [Left Arrow] .
