Deskloops is an interesting free Windows XP application that helps you organize your open application windows.

Looks a little bit like 3d desktop switcher on linux
To rotate pages, middle click+drag

Deskloops does this by arranging windows along a virtual horizontal loop. At any one time, you’ll see window open on screen as usual, but in fact any number of other windows, set on that loop, can be rotated in from left or right. A strip of thumbnails on top of the screen maps the loop’s full content.

Installing the Windows Vista sidebar on XP

The sidebar has been leaked and it works in XP. Here are the instructions how to download and install it.

  1. Download the Vista sidebar, and decompress it (it’s a RAR file).
  2. Copy the decompressed folder into the Program Files directory (C:\Program Files\).
  3. Now go to the Users folder, and under your username create a new folder named Parts (C:\Documents and Settings\x20 in my case), and copy the files from C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Parts into this folder.
  4. Download this patch and put it in the Windows Sidebar folder mentioned above, then run the file named Patch (and do as it says).
  5. Next up, download XMLRW.DLL and place it into the Windows Sidebar folder. This file is part of Internet Explorer 7, so if you have that beta, just get it from your own IE7 folder.
  6. Now just run the sidebar (C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\sidebar.exe) and click the plus sign to load the widgets!
