Version: Aston 1.9.1
"I Love Aston."
Pros: Provides some extra functionality to anybodys desktop. Instead of a bunch of scruffy icons I have a number of dropdown menus with quick links to any of my applications and to a number of system/control functions. It also really does use fewer system resources than explorer.exe (with the themes I use Aston takes up 5-11MBs compared to explorer.exe's 14+MBs minimum).
It is quite stable and it has been a long time since I had a 'windows explorer has encountered a problem' type message.
Cons: I thought about making my own Aston desktop theme but it is an incredibly time consuming task. For anything more than the basics I would recommend downloading a theme that catches your eye and simply adapting it to your needs. Far easier and quicker than creating your own.
When I start-up my PC Aston will breifly hand if I start opening apps too soon, ie when other programs which start when windows is turned on are still starting-up.
