    Oh I know it would more than likely slow me down. I'm just looking for novelties for my XP and it looked interesting.

    Desktop Sidebar. It's great. Not a memory hog in the slightest.

    No, he literally meant Google Sidebar. I haven't used it, but it looks pretty good.

    Drag a folder full of shortcuts off the edge of the screen and BINGO! instant sidebar.
