Yeah, Task Manager runs independently of explorer, so that if explorer crashes it can (A) be rebooted, and (B) means the PC isn't rendered useless everytime it encounters a hiccup
I will remember that...
I never closed it for fear of having to get up and restart the computer
I grabbed a boatload of themes for LS, I'll give it a spin in a VM first. I used to like it a lot. I hope it is as I remember it. Shouldn't be too bad if it's not overloaded with too many modules.
Installed it in a VM, using the default theme atm, it is noticably snappier and takes up 2mb less memory. Also allows you to place icons on the desktop to quickly swap default shells. I think I'm going to like this again.
EDIT:: This is put together nicely. Changed themes and it recognized I did not have certain modules installed and downloaded them automagically. Swift connection or small files. Hopefully it'll be stable now.
