although windowblinds freeware has most options already included, just a few are locked. To get the full benefits go to http://www.windowblinds.net/default.asp?page=register. If you are really impressed with what you see so far check out object desktop. I doubt one person on this website has regreted purchasing it. By the way welcome to the club

First off cursing is not taken too well by website admins. Best offer I can give is save up euros little by little and buy object desktop at $49.95. Its cheaper than buying each one seperately and it comes with all of the programs except one or two. I don't know if there are even other programs out there, because I am very satisfied with stardock's products. If you are asking for where to get illegial copies or "warez" you are not going to get very far at this website.

peterle75, Stardock accepts Money Orders. That's how I got Object Desktop Myself, since I don't have a credit card either (I am not a student, I just don't trust myself with credit. ).
A copy/paste from the sales FAQ:
We also accept checks or money orders in US funds (no Eurocheques, please, as they are not certified funds). Please print and use the order form at https://www.stardock.com/order.txt (also found in the directories of Stardock’s shareware products) and mail with payment to:

Wrong. Married, two kids. My wife has a credit card. Not me. I leave all the money things to her, cause money burn my hands.

Ummm. Go back and read this thread again, specifically the 2nd post. Use ObjectBar to mimic the XP style start menu.

You'll need to download Object Bar and some object bar skins to make it look like XP.

that is such a cool trick... I just decided to see if you really could make object bar use the window blinds graphics... and it worked... it skined the bar to look like that of windows xp... but it changed the graphics to match that of the window blinds skin... I love it... that is so cool....

However, you can use objectbar which (besides being used to build custom bars and docks) has the ability to mimic the WinXP taskbar and start menu. In this mode, it can also import the WinXP specific taskbar/start menu graphics from the WindowBlinds skin, and skin itself to compliment the current WindowBlinds theme.
