Though this freeware has a few flaws, you'll find quick access to desktop customization. DeskilatorXP's interface is a simple toolbar at the top of your screen with standard buttons that include Desktop, Favorite Applications, Change Wallpaper, and Shutdown menus. Your desktop is cleared and items become available from DeskilatorXP's pull-down menus. In our testing, not all applications opened from the new Desktop menu, but they did launch when added to the Favorites menu. You can choose from several wallpaper options and even elect to have it change automatically at start-up. The program offers two advanced settings to hide the taskbar and the Start menu. Right-clicking the buttons automatically launches Windows items such as Display Properties, the Start menu, or the File manager. Any XP user looking for a flexible desktop alternative will appreciate this easy-to-use program.

Not that useful

Pros
Hiding the task bar and moving the shutdown options to the desktop was exactly what I was looking for, but...
Cons
...it is a bit of a Nazi on the desktop, I couldn't get the settings to behave (such as not running it on start up) and even deleting the desktop shortcut was not allowed. Needs work.
Summary
This is a cool software.

Pros
Very simple and inuitive. Easy changing of wallpapers without any hassles. Best of all a fast shutdown without any pestering dialog box. Good use of RIGHT CLICKS on all buttons, to access most of the common tasks.
Cons
Summary
A real dictator with your desktop.

Pros
Deskilator XP gives a nice first impression and it is really easy to work with icons, folders and desktop properties.
Cons
Once it installs it takes a tight hold. I couldn't make it go away! It also somehow disables your right click context menus when used on the desktop. After a good uninstall and reboot everything was back to normal though. This thing needs a .23 cent switch and it would be great.

Developer’s Description

By Actilogix Solutions

Control your desktop and manage your files and folders easily.

DeskilatorXP is a neat simple program to hide your desktop/taskbar/startbutton, change wallpapers, shutdown the system, open favorite apps or folders, all in a simple user-friendly interface. It has a very small memory foot print.
