hello - newbie here :)

I am interested in learning/using litestep. I have used other shells and one thing that has always annoyed me is the inability to actually use the desktop.

Whenever I dl a file, I usually just dump it onto the desktop and then organize. Sometimes I'll open up notepad and save it to the desktop (using explorer.exe) & then open easily open right there.

Seems as though explorer.exe alternatives are unable to use the desktop in this fashion because all files must be placed into a folder.

Is litestep the same way?

Thanks everyone!

Well...the Desktop is actually a folder so it can be used in that fashion. The only thing from the explorer desktop you will really miss is the ability to drag and drop icons.

thanks - I'm gonna play around with litestep & figure things out. so far, I'm really liking this shell.

peace

actually now there's xdesktop, which mimics explorer desktop quite nicely.
