I can warmly recommend LiteStep. I'm running it since, euh, 2 years or
something like that. I wouldn't swap it for the world for a regular
Explorer interface. Once you have a theme that does everything you want
it to do, it's a joy to work in.

You're asking in a bit of a bad moment, since the main themes repository
(http://litestep.net/) has been offline for some time, and noone seems to
really know what's going on.

Anyway, on to the details:

Installer:
http://beyondconvention.net/ohussain/lsinstaller/

Module repositories:
http://shellfront.org (menu on the left, "LS Modules")
http://loose-screws.com (--> "LiteStep modules")

Regards,
Wald

Are screen shots available so that we can see what it looks like?

You make it look like whatever YOU want it to look like.

It's a bit of a shame that litestep.net is down, but for an impression of
the range of possibilities:

I got into litestep in 2000. Back in those days litestep.net was
buzzing. It's unfortunate that since then, as it changed management
within the family, it fell into neglect.

Back in those days I even authored litestep themes with notepad. One of
my themes was the second most popular 800x600 theme, and 13th most
popular theme overall and climbing, out of thousands of themes (yes, it
was the golden days of litestep.net!).

When litestep.net faltered I waited, waited, waited and then my
interests just shifted. A year ago I reinstalled the stuff by Omar, and
I must commend him on how easy he had made it to install litestep, but
I realized that I no longer cared about the look of my desktop than I
care about usability, and the standard Explorer shell is really great
at simplicity, so much so that when I bought an Apple I sold it and
returned from OSX to windows in not too long.

Anyhow, a while ago I saw this http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/bblean/
The OP may want to check it out.

Interesting. What theme was it? I was a regular browser/user of
Litestep themes around four or five years ago. I might still have
yours somewhere.

Another one on Sourceforge, perhaps more Geoshell-like, is
SharpEnvironment:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sharpe/

It's been around for a while, is pretty stable, and is still being
developed.

You make it look like whatever YOU want it to look like.
I guess I'm trying to figure out just what it does. Does it look like the
old GeoWorks thing for DOS? Does it include apps like it did?

Sorry to be so dense about it.

LiteStep replaces the Windows Explorer Interface, You can make your own
interface and start menu etc...

No it doesn't include any apps but you uses what ever aps you have installed
