Many words like d-r-o-p and d-e-l-e-t-e were censored in my above post, but I think the concept is clear

You can drag an app or folder to the start button to pin it to the top left column, near browser and mail choices. Editing those on the right does seem a bit more complicated, though. I think the best way is, as you suggest, letting ObjectBar replace the standard windows startbar. I took a look, and this seems promising: In ObjectBar, File->Load Theme->Them Browser->Windows XP. *Before clicking load, use the Styles down menu to Use WindowBlinds Skin* This looks like a ve

Just an additional note, Icon Packager seems to do fine with "nested" folders within the one you set as the Packages Directory. For example, I have my directory set to a folder D:\IconThemes Within this folder are dozens of other folders, each with numerous icons. If there exists inside one of these nested folders an .iptheme file, Icon Packager finds it (I think).

WindowBlinds doesn't itself automatically skin the GUIs of applications like brows-ers. I don't know if MS Internet Explorer can be easily skinned.

Reply to Why doesn't anybody hitchhike anymore? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I used to hitchhike all the time. I think it's a matter of saavy and common sense. Don't accept the ride if you feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, I've met some interesting people and gotten places I wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Memorable examples are a spring break in Washington's San Juan Islands, hitching from ferries to campsites and back and touring Nat'l Parks in Utah, hitching rides between. Also used to often hitch to and from work, when working hours that buses
