    Hi all! Some time ago I read (i believe in the lounge) about a soft to make the W3x desktop look like W95, 98, etc. I believe it was called Clarissa, but I've been looking for it for some time now and I can't seem to find it? Any ideas? Matias Szulman I am in shape. Round is a shape.

      Are you really still using Windows 3.x?

        It's called command.com: you run it and press Alt-Enter, and I swear, your desktop will be almost the same as of someone running cmd.exe on Windows XP. ;P Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

            I have to admit, running 3.11 on a 3 Ghz system is blazing fast. :doh:
