    Lightbulb Creating Applications Window

    Rt Clk on your desktop > New > Shortcut.
    Put this in the 'box' %windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}
    Name it, Applications
    (Now) Open the desktop icon, probably you'll want to remove the nav tree, really no need for it in this case, slect the View & Sort desired and Minimize it to the Taskbar... never close it or will have to be reconfigured from the desktop icon.... it has to be reset from that icon following a reboot.
    W/ this you have everything in a familiar window & never have to leave desktop (switch screens, like to WinQ or Start) to access anything
    And done w/out any 3rd party add-ins. Together w/ Desktop Toolbar, yep, makes things really nice.

    Enjoy

    Cheers,
    Drew

    Along with your descriptive tutorial...how about adding some screen shots for those who can't follow those instructions.
