news:traker1001.3109ye@xxxxxx-mx.forums.net... If the safemode explorer is a separate shell, does anyone know how to use it with standard mode functionality? Third party shells are never integrated well enough to use full time. Safe mode is lightweight (like you can configure every other version of windows to be). Vista's morbidly obese UI is the primary reason I find it unusable out of the box.
