I absolutely hate having any icons on my desktop. Is there a way to get rid of that damned nigh irremovable Recycle Bin icon or move it to, oh say, the Start Menu or Task Bar?
Feel free to flame me if I've missed some obvious way of doing so.

Easy. Right-click on the desktop -> Active Desktop - it's somewhere in there.

*Smacks self* Thanks a lot!
Actually, it was Right-click -> Arrange Icons By -> Show Desktop Icons.

Been running Geoshell since 4 years now, works fine. Looks like it's not really being developed anymore, quite a shame, IMHO.

All the alternate shells for windows are pretty much dead. Even litestep.

I've been hanging around the Sun/ SGI/ DEC/ HP/ Unix section of Ebay. There's a couple of Alphas up there, I think I'm gonna try to get one and stick VMS on it. Kinda pisses me off that it's called OpenVMS these days though. Like, wtf is open about it?

Seems Open has become another buzzword for the marketing types :). Stuff being Open-Source is indeed great, but many businesses tends to abuse the meaning a tad :|

Having been a litestep user, I can see why it died.

OpenOpenSource!
My managers have this obession with open source where they think they can just yoink anything they want despite the number of times I tell them the licenses don't work that way.
It's a shame that Litestep is near-death. I love it, but if you want a nice skin now-adays, you'll have to adopt an already made on and modify it to hell and back.
