Nope, I always disable it after a re-install/whatever. Its somethin you dont need, and frees up resources on reboot.

Ah, good point. I'll remeber that for when I go back to my computer.

If by safely you mean circumvents a security measure put in place to keep people from fiddling with something then I guess that's an accurate impression. The folks at TGTSoft want you to think that their product is more than just a hack so they made it *patch* system memory to allow unsigned .msstyle files to be loaded but let's be perfectly honest here, if MS decided at any point to put a stop to their activities I doubt the case would even make it to court because StyleXP is a blatant hack and nothing more.
So, if you want to look at it this way the most obvious reason to use WB is that it's legal..

| I was under the impression that StyleXP didn't hack your system, it just safely modifies the memory to allow different visual styles |
