@Rick Brewster Wow! You sound super upset that Stardock has a program which thousands of us enjoy. Not to take away from your program which is nice (awful coloring / effects, but great everything else), but HOURS have INDEED gone into customizing my desktop(s) to where they look amazing .... and NO, I am not going to delete the program which helps accomplish this (one of the only such programs on the market, BTW) and which I have used for YEARS, so that I can use a program that does what 17,486 other programs do - ESPECIALLY, when, as the OP already mentioned, they have always worked together (for me, for two years until last night when I cleaned up some Microsoft Visual CC++ Redist. files). Fix it or not; that's your prerogative but shut the f*ck up in attempting to tell people what they should opt for on their machines.
