is there a program that replaces explorer.exe?

I noticed that i can close explorer.exe and my computer still runs, there just isnt a program to handle the icons or to organize the open programs. Is there some kind of program that replaces this and maybe has more features, like a mac style or something? Just wondering because i know there is style XP which just changes how the PC looks. Thanks.

Laptop Inventory Program

I am a technology director at a school district in Texas. We are purchasing 240 macbooks for our students/teachers to check out at the beginning of the school year and return at the end.

Does anyone know of good OS X software that will help me inventory, help desk, and check out/in?

Thanks, Stuart

Greetings from Lahore

Hello,

I'm a teacher and curriculum planner in Lahore. Just getting started with GTD since I've been feeling totally overwhelmed by work, my first baby, and a wonderful, but rambling house.

Grad school notes (again; long)

I know that notetaking has recently been taken up on the front page around here, and topics pertaining to academics also pop up fairly frequently, but I thought I'd try to solicit some feedback for my particular situation.

Does GTD imply working on work stuff at home and vice versa?

Crap, I'm posting to 43 folders, I must have passed some invisible line in the sand.

I've been doing the GTD thing for about 6 months or so now, and am just starting to get a handle on things, but one thing has bugged me for a while. As I'm creating and using a single system for everything in my life, doesn't this imply that my life will have even fewer boundaries between work and home than before?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
