Developer’s Description

Lend your palmtop a Windows 95 look and feel.
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.
