Hi all Some of my fellow users use WinXP virtual machines to run a bunch of applications. These are so many that I've used the good ol' PROGMAN.EXE of Windows 3.11/Windows 95 to keep the shortcuts organized. But these WinXP VMs are about to be phased out and replaced by Win7. Program Manager doesn't run on Win7 (a hack exists but that is beyond what I'll deal with). So I've looked for alternatives. I've found Stardock Fences. But it attacks the Desktop itself which is not so well. Further, a bug exists that if you create folders in folders (which you have to to mimic Program Manager), the background of these "folder portals" are black if running in a terminal session. Also, you can't minimize the fences/windows which means you have to move them around all the time. So could anyone recommend an alternative? Nothing fancy is needed beyond the basic features of the original Program Manager. /gustav
