SMILERSHELL/95 for Windows 95 and Windows NT SmilerShell/95 is a compact yet powerful Windows 95/NT control center and command line that takes NO space on your desktop. It looks like a simple command line, but in reality it's more like a cross between Dashboard and 4DOS, without heavy memory requirements. Its quick directory-change command DC lets you type the first few letters of any endpoint target directory, on any drive, and instantly switch to that directory. And if you set its "Sync With Explorer" switch, it'll keep Explorer's current directory synchronized with SmilerShell/95. Combine DC with Sync and you'll never again have to tediously click up and down a file manager tree! If you use SmilerShell/95 ONLY as a navigation shortcut for Explorer, it's well worth it. But then there's the real-time memory/resources monitor, icon-menu "Apps" launcher (easier than Start, and more flexible), multiple commands on one line, 4DOS-like aliases (type-in or on Function keys), command completion, even an alarm clock with a settable reminder message. SmilerShell/95 takes NO space on your desktop. Usually it's just a tiny button that hops into the title bar of your currently-active application. Left-click the button to reveal the SmilerShell/95 window, or right-click to see your Apps menu. SmilerShell features Drag and Drop, command completion, full File Associations support, full control over "inactive" windows, built in FileFind. Launch your word processor with the file to edit as a parameter, and avoid the File|Open dialog. Fast! There's much more than a "DOS command line." Not to ignore the top-rated command line. It's got command history, editing, and search. It will handle anything you throw at it, including pipes and redirection, batch files, PIF and Win95 LNK files, filenames with embedded spaces, and file associations (just give the filename, no need to specify the program). Its built-in Show command works like a little Explorer window. And it runs multiple commands on one line like 4DOS ... which, when combined with its parameterized aliases, gives you a built-in batch-like scripting language. SmilerShell/95 takes up only about 250K of disk space, and uses less than 100K of RAM and 1% of resources while running. And it won't clutter up your computer by spreading bits of itself throughout your system, the way so many other Windows programs do.
