Publisher's description
From Thumbs Up Soft :StarTap, one of our favorite enhancements for Windows CE devices, helps your palmtop PC look and feel like a desktop computer. You can create shortcuts to files, arrange them in folders on a desktop with wallpaper, switch between running applications, and browse through files on your disks. You can also create new shortcuts and folders on the desktop and organize them with drag-and-drop functionality. In addition, StarTap includes features such as the Recycle Bin, Control Panel, and Windows Explorer. StarTap has a built-in image viewer that can be accessed by double-tapping a bitmap file; it also offers a battery minder, a screen capture function, and a system info function. StarTap is designed to be finger friendly, allowing you to launch, exit, and switch among programs using your finger instead of the stylus.
Newer features include a Taskbar replacement that's much closer to the Windows 98 Taskbar look, as well as a Start menu and keyboard buttons, an application tray for frequently accessed shortcuts, a set of task buttons to activate currently running tasks, and a system tray. It also includes an improved, full-screen, zoom-and-pan Color Viewer designed to make 256-color machines look like Truecolor, and a RegEdit function.
CNET Editor's Note: The trial period for this program extends to the end of each month, and the registration fee is $10.

Version: StarTap (CE Palmtop) 4.92
Pros: Nothing.
Cons: I have an old Cassiopeia E100, and when I installed from another site, it told me it had expired and there was a new version. So I went to the site and downloaded the new version, and guess what? It told me the same thing. Bah!

Version: StarTap (CE Palmtop) 4.92
"could not check out or register product"
Pros: If I could download the software, I would be happy to describe the pros.
Cons: Downloaded the trial version, but was told to upgrade. This didn't work and could not register it. Looks like it could be a good product, but it looks as though ThumbsupSoftware needs some addtional programming help.

Version: StarTap (CE Palmtop) 4.92
"It looks good. I really wanted it!"
Cons: I wanted the "Free to try" offer. After downloading it I was told the product needed updating. So I went to the web site tried to download a more recent version, but was directed back to the same download.com site again. After spending way too much time trying to find a way to activate the programme, I decided it looked good enough to buy. I tried several times to buy the product, but their bank was too busy to accept my credit card payment. I even tried the alternative purchase link...but that page wasn't available. The product looks really good. Just wish I could buyt it!
