Description A 'newbie' to computers got irritated, I just can't stop making my desktop look different all the time. He got annoyed because he couldn't keep getting used to the different interfaces ("now how do I go to internet explorer?". He liked the xp luna interface too (!), so I worked on an xp theme for him (from screenshots). Then I went on to make the welcome screen. A bit more difficult, but I managed in the end.
Each 'account' (actually, there both one account) can have a different theme, homepage, IE links bar (though I changed my browser), wallpaper, coolplayer skin, window colour, start-up programs, icons, etc. The welcome screen would come up even if windows weren't shutdown properly. LSTS.exe doesn't work properly though, but I can easily change my theme with the *.rc files. So now he has a consistant interface, while I can change whatever I want.

Come to think of it, this might have been done if I put two instances of litestep and used a shell-manger? But then it wouldn't look that friendly
