    Well, that was a kinda nice shell for Win 95.

    There were two I used:

    - Dashboard 95 from Starfish Software
    - Norton Navigator from Symantec

    However, those things are outdated, I don't think anyone uses similar today...dunno

    Why are you asking for that?

    I once read a book. Can anyone remember which one it was?
    ;)

    You know, you could try telling us what it actually did or what it was useful *for*. Then we might be able to answer your question...
    Otherwise I'd say go to www.google.com, enter "dashboard 95" and hit enter.

    We have Media Center Edition and its varients from differant software companies. Almost all the media software companies got their own media center edition...I know Sony has their own,Nero, cybervideo,powerdvd,theatertek...etc...

    Dash 95 and its varients are very outdated and un needed!
