its not the look of explorer i dont like, its the performance of explorer i dont like, lol. in fact, to be honest, the current litestep i use is actually pretty slow for a shell. too bad it isnt easier on the system. i mean even with the most minimalistic theme i could find litestep is still pretty slow.

btw, just to let u know, my pc specs are as follows:
CPU 533MHz
RAM 120MB
BUS 100Mhz
HDD 40GB 5200 RPM

which is slow and old, but not as slow and old as some peoples pcs.
