Whats a good shell switcher besides ShellOn (incompatable with Win2000, which I have)?

ummm... i use shellonv2 with win2000 with no problems...
however, i have in the past used litespawn and it also works quite well, although not as many features

shellon v2 is fine with 2k, as long as you don't use the 'set shellon as shell' button. (at least, that bug exists under xp; i'm assuming it's the same under 2k.) shellonv3 is fully compatible, but it doesn't have as many features as it's still in beta. there's also carapace.

hmnn...I use shellonv2 with XP and have it set as shell ... no problem here ;)

i've had problems trying to load explorer as a shell from the shellon loadmenu in xp[home] when the 'set shellon as shell' button was used. (lsml thread--there's no problem if i set the shell manually.)

hmmm... now that you mention it, i did have problems using that button... i think i may have installed it manually, i dont remember... it was a while ago

I use Carapace http://www.pixolpod.org/pix/news.php with Win2K - easy switching 'tween Win, Litestep and SharpE. Slick as snot.
