Nice... it's a similar concept to an idea I had once, but mine was going to be more along the lines of the MI6 desktop environment from James Bond.

All you need to do now is make it actually do something aside from just running stuff, especially add a hot key to close the program before you get people panicking.

Cool concept though.

Umm that's what Start -> Shutdown does right now.

Oh , well I just assumed it would shut down my PC so I didn't even bother to click it, guess I should look at the script before running it.

Updates:

Added Tabs

Added default background

Changed Run() to Execute()

Uploaded New Script at same location

Added Shutdown Function that actually shuts down the computer PowerOff(1)

To do:

Add an exit to explorer.exe

Add an option to kill and replace explorer.exe

Start version numbering once the base program is finalized.

OS? Service Pack? 32 or 64 bit? AutoIt Version?

The start menu problem is because if the images needed in the code below don't exist, the $Paper variable is set to 0 because it can't create the image. So what happens is that the GUIGetMsg fires on the $Paper switch case and immediately closes the start menu.

$Image[0] = @UserProfileDir & ".face"
 $Image[1] = @ScriptDir & "image.jpg"

Thanks for reporting that. I'll fix that next upload.
