of coffee (sorry), but it will enable you to try out laods of different Windows
interfaces in the time you could otherwise spent making some of the precious
black stuff.
Incase you need them, there are manual uninstall instructions below.

Uninstalling
Here's how to uninstall manually ShellON should you need to, just to assue you its
a painless process!
For 9x:
- Go to Start - Run and enter system.ini
- Find the line that says shell=C:\shellonv2\shellon.exe
- Change it to boot=explorer.exe
- Reboot and you are done.
For 2k/XP it's abit more complex:
- Use Run -> gpedit.msc.
- Go to: User Configuration - Administrative Templates - System
- Edit the Custom User Interface value to explorer.exe. This
should work :)
If this doesn't work, you can go into the registry and change it
yourself.
- In the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER key:
Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
- Look for a string entry called 'Shell'. If it is not there, create a string
entry and name it 'Shell'. Set this value to 'explorer.exe'.
