I'd recommend a little util called ShellSwitch, as well as Litestep, evwm,
revela or any other shell. mostly because theese are more stable and more
efficient than explorer.
If you feel you don't have time to make fancy gfx and settings for revel, try
litestep. I have only two things in my wharf, clock and vwm. rest are on a few
shortcuts(2 for pov, only) and in the popup. It is rather efficiant and very
stable in comparsion. you can also reduce the memory-useage by turning off any
module you want, including the wharf and the desktop.

If this is also a bit too much time to take from rendering, try using evwm. it
is  more directed towards ease of use and somplisity than any of the other
two.(Litestep and revel require some work to get to work smoothly, as well as
some insight in your system, thus only directed to those who really are
interested in fixing it up)

if you need all the power avaiable, I'd recommend to use shellswitch, and add
pov as a shell. It works and runs ok. If you want other programs, a double click
on the background will bring up the task-manager, and that will let you at the
shutdown and run menues. This will also remove any auto-started background
programs(both from autostart and registry). Exactly what is recommended for
debugging.


For more tips on different shells, I recommend floach's page. It generally deals
with anything changing the looks and works of windoze.
